Weld Draglites

[damystikal69]

I just got a set of weld draglites and was wondering what is the best size tire i can get. Looking for something wide. The rims are 15x7 and im putting them on an 87 gt.

on my 85 i have a set they arent Weld, but i will soon go to Weld rims, but i have 15x7 in the front and 15x10 in the rear. I want to go 15x3.5 in the front and 15x10 in the rear with the Weld rims.

Get 265 or lower. Anything more will have clearance issues. I have 275 and about a 1/4 inch away from each tail pipe. So I'm gonna downsize soon.

I wouldn't go any wider than 245 on a 7" wheel. Conventional wisdom has said that the wheel should be close to as wide as the tires tread width for best traction and tire wear. A 245 tire is 9.64" wide or about the max you would want to run.
