yes, I ran 15x4 centerline telstars, and I had to run spacers, and shave a little of my calipers so that they did not rub. Most people run studs if Im not mistaken. I had enough thread on the bolt left that I did not have to run them. I went with the same size as your talking about, but if I had to do it again, I would have def. gone with 15x10 in the rear

BS on a 15x8 is 5.5. Don't need to worry about 15x10's - you'll get 3 runs in before you break an axle for any high rpm launch with that big of a slick/drag radial

Click to expand...

If your running 15 inch wheels and tires, it really makes no difference, the rear end needs to be upgraded on an 8 or 10 inch wheel. I was saying it from a looks standpoint.

BTW, I think Bill put 30+runs on his stock rear and slicks before it went out.
