thats difficult/
if your rear end is stock you cannot get much off a tyre under the back arches, for street wheels go 8x15 with a 235 60 15 tyre they will also take that size on the front for slicks again 8x 15 wheel with a 28 tall 10 wide 15 diameter slick IF you have a 3.90 rear upwards, 3.55 or less go for a 26 tall slick,
if you want the full racer look go with a 5x15 front wheel and say a 185 70 15 front tyre

not a lot of room under them there arches,

especially if you don`t tub it),back spacing is important I think my backspacing is the same as yorkies I have 275x60x15 m/t`s no more rubbing on arches
