Tire size calculator:

http://m.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos

This will give you approximate, not actuals.

Also for any tire size/brand you are considering, Tirerack.com has all the specs such as reccomended rim width (but not the sidewall height) listed. Go to the site, search tires by size, enter one size you are considering and click the specs tab for other sizes/specs.

Good luck!

I appreciate the responses. I guess I should've worded my question a little different.

I like to see the tires before I buy them but Im not going to have that luxury in this case.

The initial sizes I picked will be a good performing tire, not overly fat/thin/ ect? I mean I know they'll the car and the rim Im putting them on. But are they a bit too small?

I calculate out 25.7 in the front and 35.9 in the rear overall diameter. Im concerned this diameter might be a bit on the small side.
