What size tire and wheel to run?
Im going to get a set of MT Sportsman radials and some weld prostars and Im having a hard time picking wheel and tire size.
They will be 15's and unfortunatly MT goes from 10" wide to 12" wide which works out to be like a 305 tire and I dont figure that will fit too easy could be done though.
I also dont know if I should go 26" or 28". I know I could fit a 28x10r15 but thats like a 255/65r15 and it might look pretty tall.
I also need to know if I should get 8" or 10" wide wheel and what offset.
Any insight will be of help
Thanks guys.

Re: What size tire and wheel to run?
I think 25-26 is pretty much the limit on diameter, unless you want to go for that overstuffed look.
Some drag racers go with 15s. Most other upgrades start with the OE upgrade of 16". 17s & some 18s are popular because they allow bigger brakes.
There is a thread of 20s in GB and a link to video of 22s... both are worth a look for seeing where some folks are taking our cars... and the cars gracefully go, BTW
