soo i am lookin at gettin some 15x8 fronts and 15x10 for the rear... but i am haveing the worst time finding a decent size tire to run on the 15x10, as of now i am thinkin of just goin 8's all around. yes i have used all if not most of the tire/rim calculators... i dont even know if i can get a tire that will look halfway decent and fit the 10.. what do u guys think

15x10. wow. that's an awkward size for s-chassis. well, maybe not if you have an s30. whatever size you run, it's not gonna look right. i guess you could stretch a 225 if you really want to bust out the hachi look......

For a 10" rim I would usually go for a 295/50 unless your going for that stretched look. Jegs has a few tires in the 275-295 range for 15s around $100each.

You should avoid running such a big stagger. Having wiiide wheels in the back and the 8's in the front will add lotsa understeer. How bout 15x8 front and 15x9 rear?

yeah i thought about that, the company i am gettin the wheels from doesn't make them in a 9 just 15x8 and 15x10

markyboi · 02-21-2007, 01:56 PM

it would be hard to obtain 15" tires for a 10" wide wheel...all i can think of would be 245/50's or if you want stretch...225/50's

EchoOfSilence · 02-21-2007, 02:05 PM

so why is it that you're trying to get 15" wheels?

sil80forme · 02-21-2007, 02:25 PM

well i like the look of a all black steelie so since they run like 50-60 bucks a piece i figured why not get em. but since i cant find a decent tire for the 15x10 i am goin with the 15x8's all around but thanx for everyones help.
