Need tire help with Weld pro stars
I am going with 15x5s on the front and 15x8s on the rear and 4.5 inches backspacing on the rears for my 1992 Z28 and would like to hear some advice on tire selection. I am going for the street/strip look, if you have something similar please give some pics if you have them. Thanks for any help.

here's what i have.
they are 15x4 in the front and 15x8 in the rear with 4.5BS. yes there is a motor in the car, the front end just sits higher for now since i pulled soo much weight off the front end. The tires are 165R15 front and 275/60R15 in the rear. They're essentially 28x10 tires in the rear.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Your car looks damn good! Yes it does look like you have some big block springs in the front, but it looks wicked.

I guess I have a street/strip look I also have 275/60-15's in the rear but I run 225/60-15's in the front so I don’t lose my turning radius.

i haven't noticed a loss of turning radius with the smaller tires in the front although, it's definately not an autocross car by any means anymore if that's what you meant.
