well, i ran my friend's set of mickey t's that were 26/1.50/15 on my LOWERED 93 hatch, and didn't haveany problems what soever...once you start gettung bigger than that, you usually need to do stuff like roll the fender lip & romove the quad-shocks. (that is, if you sn95 guys have them)

but yeah, 26/10.50's would be perfect!

With the 3.73's you have I'd stick with the 275/50/15's. If you have not purchased the wheels yet I would consider a 15x9 or 15x10.

I have 15x10 Draglites with 275/50/15 Micky T drag radials. They fit fine on the rear, just had to hammer the passenger side exhaust pipe so it wouldn't rub. But thats probably my Flowmasters fault since they don't fit too well.

The tire didn't even come close to the quad shock with 6.5" back spacing.

Troy's right, go with the 15x10 if you can.

I have Weld pro Stars 15x10 w 6.5" backspacing & 26x10.5x15 M/T ET street slicks, and I didn't have any rubbing issues with tailpipes or quadshocks. I didn't have to roll the fenders either. They fit like a glove
