I've looked at at a lot of posts but can't seem to find out the widest tire I can run on my stock wheels without rubbing or modifying the fenders. I'll be using bf Goodrich radial t/a's on stock 87 gn wheels. Thanks.
 
I have run both 275 60 15 & 275 50 15 on stock GN wheels. Crapshoot on whether they'll rub on your car though, most of these cars do not have the body perfectly centered on the frame. I had to run a bit more psi in my airbags when I ran the 60 series because of the height.
 
235/60/15 all around looks good is rotatable and maintains stock tire height speedometer accuracy etc..
 
275 50 or 60 look really good. Some have it fit with success so have not. When i had stock gn wheels i had 255/60/16 in the rear and 245/60/16 in the front with out any issues. Looks really good.
 
255 50 15 might be a bit short, 255 60 15 is a nice size. Lot of people run that in the rear. Looks good with 235 60 or 215 65 up front.
 
I run 235x60s on all 4's. I like the way it looks and yes, when you burn off the back ones you can rotate.
 
I've had 235/60-15 255/60-15 and 275/60-15 on the back of my car. The driver’s side rubs with the 275 with no air in the bags and before the BMR bar. The 255 never rubbed and filled the fender well nicely.
The fronts are 235/60-15 they rub if you go lock to lock.
