Sorry, i want to buy new tires. Must i go white wall? Does the size diff from the axles? To what extend can the back wheels be "bended" so that it looks like lazyboy squad? Maybe 10 degrees?

having different sizes on the front and back doesnt matter.
I used to run 195/50/15 in the front with 195/60/15 at the back and love the stance that it gives. Handling was also pretty good with the nose down.
Those were the days before digital cameras. so dont ask for a photo

now get a gps and figure out what speed you are really doing as your speedo will be wrong
mine was in MPH, which made it easy. I multiplied by 1.5 to get the correct speed (instead of 1.6).
