I have 4 15x6.5 Rallyes that I want to put on my Duster. Now that the wheels are painted, I'm starting to think tires. I want 215/70-R15's on the front and I'm thinking 245/60-R15's for the back. Does that sound like a fair size? I want a bigger than stock rear tire without going overboard. However, just curious if the 245/60's will fit fine on the back without rubbing or anything? Anybody running this size on their Dusters? Also, I'm confused regarding backspace. I was told to look for 4.25" backspace? I'm of course thinking BF Goodrich Radial T/As but I'm wondering what some of you guys are running?
 
I have 14 inch wheels on the front so I can't help you there. I am interested to see what others say as if I ever have to get new wheels for the front they will have to be 15 inches. I have 245/60-15s on the back of my Duster and they fit fine, I have never had any problems. I believe my backspacing is 3.875 inches.
 
I would say those tires on would fit on the back no problem. I ran stock 15 ralley's on mine for a while but not sure of back spacing.

I would drop the front size to 205 70 15. a 215 70 15 is 3/8 taller than your rear tire and may look kinda funny, but it's up to you..
 
I have 14s on the front of my Duster. But on the back I have
255/60-15s. Thats with 15x8 rims with 4 1/2 in back space.
Hope it helps.

Well, if it helps....I'm pretty sure they are factory made 72+ Rallye wheels (based on caps). LBP.....15X6.5.....any clue on backspace?
