Default Quick tire question.

I just got some racing rims and I was planning on running same size tires all the way around the car, (may go bigger in the back) and i was seeing if any of you guys know what size tire would fit a 15 x 10 in the front without rubbing issues. I was planning on 275 50s or 60s. Any help appretiated. Yes I know torquer thrusts look wonderful and they have a better rim and tire selection but I wanted to try some thing different. I'm excited my cars almost running so i'll update my thread that hasn't been touched in a year.

cool, thanks. I have heard of someone but I forgot who was running 265s in the front, I just wasn't sure if he was having issues. I was thinking of around 255 in the front originally with something bigger out back but i'll look into it.
