Im gonna be buying the weld pro stars this weekend. Does anyone know what size rim for a 275 tire in the back would be? Its and 89 IROC im going to be putting 15s all around. Also what size tire should i get for the front, its mostly always going to used for the strip but im still going to have it on the road

I have 295/50/15's out back on what I believe to be 15x8 Cragar Street Stars (were on the car when I bought it) and they dont rub. I dont know the backspace, but the pictures are at: http://www.cardomain.com/id/usa1racing The look is awesome in my opinion.

They look real nice. Now you got me leaning towards buying a pair of 295s. Well now i just need the back spacing, bolt pattern and what size i should get for the front

i would do 295/50-15s on a 15x10 rim out back for sure. a lil beating can take care of any rubbing that could occur. up front it is up to you, how wide and tall of a tire you want up there?

With the 295's that are on the car now, no reshaping of the fenderwell was necessary to make them fit.

I'm running 275 60 15 on the rear on 15 x 8 weld prostar with 4.5" of backspacing and have never had a rubbing problem. The fronts are 215 70 15 on a 15 x 5 weld. I don't have any pictures published anywhere that you can look at right now but could email you one if you would like.
