No need to get the tyres mounted cheezy-sidewalls-out. BFGs, for
instance, have white letters on one side, and raised black letters on the
other. Last set of BFG MTs I got, I specifically told the tire shop
dudes to mount them white side in, and I went out to the bay to drive
away to find nice blue letters pointing out all around. I just about
fell over. Needless to say, I spent a little more time at the shop that
afternoon while they remounted everything. Can't give any size
recommendations for 15" rims--are you going w/ them b/c you're doing a
concourse resto? If not, I'd say pitch 'em and put 16" on. They're way
more functional, not to mention better looking.
