qDave, 215's are a bit skinny aren't they and a fair bit shorter. Mathematically 275/55 are ~683mm dia where 215/60 is 639mm.
This is just my opinion and really relates to my own ideals of what looks good...lol.
But the front tyre has to have a smaller diameter than the rear tyre. When the diameters are the same i feel like the front wheels look bigger than the rear in profile.
Yes 215 sounds skinny but Avon tyres are on the wide side of the measurements and a wider wheel streches the tyre out a little as well. My plans are for street 427 so the tyres shouldnt look out of place.....hopefully.
