    OK...I hope someone answers this. If I put 15x8 Torq Thrust wheels and 255/60 tires on the back of my Comet what size wheel and tire do I put on the front. I want a slightly raked look but I don't want VW tires on the front. What would be good? Thanks...

    205/60r15 is a good front size. Still handles okay but smaller thatn any respectable rear tire size.

    The 205 60-15 is kind'a short. You might want to go with a 215...
