this has probaly been asked before, but i have a set od 15x8 rally wheels with 4 " backspace,i would like to run a 235/60/15 in front and a 275/60/15 in the back, will this work, the car has yet to be painted and i haven't got the wheels so rolling the wheel lip is not a problem,i was just wondering if anyone has run these???? some tire places don't like to take tires back after they have been mounted, thanks

I have 275/60/15s at the rear, but I think the rim has a 4 1/2" bs. Look at my signature for a side view of the car. They do go to the well rim, but not enough to look oversized. I didn't cut a thing for this tire.
