So here is my plan, let me know if you guys think it will work.

Going with CPP's stock front disc brake conversion (stock height):

Going with American Racing Vector SE wheels:
15x7, 4" backspace, 5-4.75 circle (on all four)

I think I've got 215's on 14" wheels on the front and 225's on 14" wheels on the rear right now. I'm looking to keep stock width tires in the front...but how wide do you guys think I could fit in the rear? I'm not looking to do anything rediculous but do you think I could get away with 235's or 245's?
