a few months ago I bought these chrome 15" wheels and the goodrich tires to go with them.
The fronts are 205/60r15's and the back tires are 235/60r15's. Sets it up a little more in the rear.

If you put the 235's on the front it will mess up the Computer and it wont allow the car to run right and the mileage will be off and the transmission will not change correctly it goes on and on and on..... basicly see the previous posts on tire sizing.

The fronts are 205/60r15's which is the same size as the originals. This is a front wheel drive and all of the computer system and drive train is at the front. The back tires are 235/60r15's, since they are just tracking wheels and nothing is connected to them I have had no problems with using the bigger tires.

I could even tell it had a little more rake, when I got in the car it seemed like the seat was elevated in the back.

The ride is smoother also. I guess its because the sidewall is taller allowing more absorbtion of the smaller bumps in the pavement.
