No problem you can go any way you want, I'm just curious what your thoughts are. My thoughts are that it's just the wider the rim, the more problems you might have with clearance. Rim widths of 7" on the front and 8" on the rear with a 15" wheel diameter gives you a wide range of tire sizes and tire manufacturers with little and probably no interference problems. You and also then go with the 4.5" back side setting, which I think is what B&B uses with their rims.

On the rears you can use 295-50-15 will give you a tire diameter of 26.7" on a 8" rim and there are lots of tires available from different manufacturers. With a 10" rim, you can still use this tire and it's at the upper limit of width and I think you'll loose about 1/2" of diameter, but that probably can be made up if you need it by your coil overs. You'll need to increase your back side setting to keep the edge of the tire inside your fender if it's important to you.

On the fronts, 235-60-15 will give you 26.1" diameter with a 7" rim. A wider rim won't affect diameter much here but if you have the Muststang 5.0 frontend, I would dig deeper to find out if the tires will rub. I think they might if the back side setting is increased for the wider rim. I believe that B&B's optional tubular front end will clear, but call Brian or Barry and they can let you know for sure.

Let me know what you decide as I went through this debate myself recently. I went with the 7" width rim up front and the 8" in the rears. I'm just curious what you decide to do.
