Weld RTS question.

Is anyone running a 15x10 RTS on a 275/60? I'm gonna be ordering my wheels next month and I was wondering if you can run this combo. Either want a 15x10 or 15x9.

I have 275/60s on a 15x8. 15x10 should have problem running those.

Re: Weld RTS question.

why dont you put a bigger tire on a 10in wide rim? 325/50/15? 275/50/15 isnt recommended for a 10in wide rim. what are you shooting for? performance or just a fat rim to have a fat rim?

Re: Weld RTS question.

I've seen 275/60s on 15x12s so thats not the problem. I'm talking about it actually fitting under the car with the right BS.

Re: Weld RTS question.

Going to be making some power when the turbo goes on, so I'm going to run a beadlock 15x10.

bead lock isnt necessary IMO unless you are making 1000hp. will it fit yes, however you contact patch will be skewed and the fact that there is only 1 performance drag radial is another reason i wouldnt run that size. there are plenty of options that are available for 15in rims 28in tall that are wider and have more grip.

soooooooo get weld RTS in 9s, 10s are going to distort the contact patch being ineffective. if you want the 10s get the ET streets in a size that fits

Re: Weld RTS question.

X275 cars run 15x10 and 15x12 on a 275/60 and run down in the 4.30s. I'm probably going to go with a 9 though.
