Will look for a used 15" wheel that fits in my rear e30 and will mount on it , maybe I will go with 8"wide wheel.

I'm runing 16" wheel so I will keep for the 1/4 miles races the 16" in front andjust the 15" race tire combo will be in back.

My problem is thatI don'tknow what size should I look for my needs, I mean what size in the rear (15") of tire will be required to match the height of the car or just match the sieof the 16" in the front?

In the front I?m runing 205/50/ZR16 and I don't know how much is that size in inches( " ), someone knows how toconver it?

I waslookingfor example this one....
