Please HELP me with tire size...

[Stangfreak95]

Hi Guys. I just sold my 03 chrome Cobra wheels and now I'll be getting some Weld Prostars.

I'm debating alot though. Not sure if I shoud buy some 15 x 8 or 15 x10. I'm thinking or running some 275/50/15 BFG Drag radials out back. But here's the problem.. BFG claims that recommanded rim width for this size is between 7.5-9.9". I do know that a 10" wheel looks nicer than a 8" wheel.

What would happen if I would run those on a 10" wheel ? Lots of track involved this summer so low tire pressure. (also got some 26x10x15 ET DRag)
Thanks.



(...I dont wanna go bigger than 275's cause I wanna keep the diameter in the 26-27".All the sizes after 275's are like 28.5+" high)

go w/ the 8"ers... they will fit very nicely on your 95... if you had a fox, you could do 10s, but they don't fit nearly as well on a sn95... good luck

You could use some 245's or 255's with no problem on that 17 x 9 wheel. Why go bigger than that ? Its pretty useless IMO.

would bigger than a 255 work in the rear? why would it be useless?

Its useless to have a huge tire in front. I'm pretty sure that 275's rub at some places. I have 245's in front on that 17x9 wheel and it was find. Maybe a little small. I personnaly would not go bigger than 255's in front.

For the rear, with a 9in wheel, you could easily fit some 275's on there without rubbing on anything. I've never been bigger than 275's but I'm 99% sure that you could fit some 285's without touching on anywhere neither. It would fit good on that 17 x 9 wheel as well. I think you need 6.11 backspace for that 17x9 wheel for the rear.
