what size rims?

i am planning on buying a pro star or similar for my 1991 4 cy coupe, i want the big little look, not sure what size for the rear

15x8 or 15x10? what fits and what would you put, also what size tires for the 15x3.5 and what size for the rear.

i am going to make it a v8, in case that makes a difference.

15x4 in the front, 15x10 in the rear if going with Pro Stars.

if its going to be a daily, i would stay away from the big/littles, i just find them hard to handle on the street.. but thats just my opinion.
but if you choose to run them , use the smaller rim out back there is no need for a 10in rim on the 4banger.unless you just like the way it looks

My bad it is a 4cyl. Get the skinnier rears, but the big ones look hot.

15x4 is wider so itll handle a LITTLE better than 15x3.5.

its a 4cy now but i bought 1990 7 up convertible that was wrecked, plan on swapping out everthing to my coupe. i need a new trans because the wrecked one is auto and i love standard. i want to put the 4cy stuff in teh convert because i pulled all the front end off and the wreck was not bad, it looks fixable, there is some rust in the area taht the door meets teh frontend.

I ran 3.5s with a 165x15 super beetle tire and 8s with a 275 50 15 nitto drag radial. It worked great and I cut 1.7s 60s with 3.73s. I daily drove this setup. You just have to slow down for turning into driveways. 5.5 backspacing is what you want on the 8 inch prostars.
