i just bought my 89 lx coupe, it came with 15x10 draglites on the back with nitto 555r's 275/50's, i was wondering what all sizes i could fit on these rims, the nittos are just wearing too fast, was lookin at some dunlop gt qualifier 265/50's? just dont know if they will fit the 10inch rim

A 275 50 would work well with those tires. I even have my 275's on 8 inch rims with my quad shocks still installed.
