92 RS putting on new wheels and tires
92 RS putting on new wheels and tires
My 92 needs new wheels and tires. I was going with Outlaw II wheels 8" and 10" wide x 15". For the tires, I was going Mickey Thompson sportsman P295/50R15 and P235/60R15. I have stock suspension and brakes (front disc, rear drum). I plan on doing fender flares.
does anyone have any input on this? mostly, will the 15"wheel fit over the brakes?

Before you mount them you might want to consider 7in wide in front and 8in wide rear.
That 10in wheel is going to kick out a long way.
Take a look at this thread.

By the way, I also switched over to the M/T Sportsman S/T.
Love them for my DD.
I would not use anything larger than 255/60r15 rear today.
Once upon a time I tried to run the 295/50r15.
Way overkill.
Here's what they look like on 8in wide wheels with a 3.75 BS.
They stuck out about 1 1/2 in. Could not stand it so ditched them.
