I’m going with the big and little set up on my 86 firebird. I have a set of 15x10’s for the rear with 5.5 back spacing. I see the popular size on here is a 275/60/15. However to me they have too much sidewall for my liking. I’ve searched on here but really haven’t found an answer. I have the factory rear end so what other size tires could I run? Would a 265/50/15 be too small for a 15x10. Pics would be appreciated. Thanks for any help.

 

You need to ditch the 15s and go with 17s...

 

I’m wanting to keep the old school look on this. I’m also working on a 86 Trans Am and 17’s are the plan for it.

You stated that the sidewalls are too tall, so a 17" wheel with a lower profile tire would solve that. A 265/50-15 is only 25-1/2" in diameter. And the size wheels & tires you are running now on that car are not "old school"...

 

295/50's are slightly wider and also have a slightly shorter sidewall.
