Default 225 in the Front with no rubbing =)

Just put on two 225 45 15 front tires(used Hoosiers) without any clearance problems. As for the back, I'll use my old 205 Kuhmos for now. I never mix match tires so wonder will it works well?!

Expect the unexpected.

Actually it should oversteer like crazy

I did this at one event while I awaited new Hoosiers to come in. I had Hoosiers in the fron and BFG's in the rear. The tires had different turn in characteristics and break away for each was different. Basically, the car gripped decently at steady state, but getting there was real interesting. It tended to wiggle a lot getting into the corners. If that makes any sense. It will be an interesting ride at the very least.

Good luck,
EC

I had the same experience. I was killing off some Hoosiers and had them in the back. I do not recommend this to anyone. I agree completely with Eric. Mixing Hoosiers and Kumhos is not a good idea.
