Another Demon tire/wheel advice thread

[demon322]

Got my espo +1 springs installed and 15x8 rear wheels with 275/60 BFGs. Now its time for the front. I have seen several others but thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas on my specific needs. My car has the later model bbp disc brake setup. I would like a combo that fills the fender well nicely but doesn't rub. And skinnier than the rears but not super skinny either. The car has more of a rake than I expected. Might have to adjust the front some after all is done.

Looks like for the wheels my options are 15x6 with 4 in backspace or 15x7 with 4.25 in backspace.

For the tires I have seen several sizes ran on these cars. 215/65, 215/60, 225/60 and I'm sure there are others.

Thoughts? Thanks.

Ok, I think I can figure out the tires but what about the wheels? Any reason to run a 6 in wheel instead of a 7? Thanks.

Glad you posted this thread... I need advice for my Demon as well. Yay for my car's vintage magnums, but they're far too small. Looks ridiculous lol. :wack:

The tire/wheel combo came with the car. Not sure the exact specs since it's off getting painted. Newish tires and nice wheels... but they've gotta go. What have you run into while trying to solve this for your car and get that right stance?

Your demon looks great!

No real trouble yet, I just went by the sizes I found after researching here. The rears fit but are close to the fenders. I tried them with the worn out factory springs but they rubbed. No more rub with the new espo springs.

I decided to go 15x7 and 225/60/15 on the front. I will let you know how they fit once they get here. The wheels are currently on backorder until the end of the month. :banghead:
