    new rims and tires very soon, double checking...

    i have a 1991 marquis and i'm adding the airlift 1000 bags to the rear to keep from rubbing the rear tires with passengers and make things less saggy but still fairly soft. i'm 17 and $$ isn't super plentiful so simple and effective is good... as far as suspention goes anyways for now.

    the rims will be chrome modular 97 (same as magna's)
    -15x7's for the front -6mm offset, (3.75 backspace)
    -15x8's for the back with stock 6mm offset (4.75 backspace)

    tires will be BF Goodrich radial T/A's
    -275/60/15 for the back
    -225/70/15 for the front

    before i spend a grand i'm just making sure that things should fit fine, so let me know any possible problems or things i will have to do that i havn't found in the search.

    thanks allot i can't wait! andy

    I'd go with a shorter front tire. 235/60-15 to make it look more balanced. The backspacing on the rear wheels seem off though.

      backs will be a 28 inch tire, and fronts will be 27.5, i don't want the front to small if i can afford the room. sorry, what do you mean by rear backspacing being a little off?

        I always get backspacing messed up. But if I'm thinking correctly Your rear tires will be too far in with that back spacing. I'm running a 4.25 backspace on 8" wheels and I'm real tight in the back.
