Default Recommended tires and rim sizes..Please HELP!

I have done many searches on tires and rims and everyone seems to have different ideas. All my mods are listed in my sig.

My problem is: I am buying a Moser 9" rear with Trutrac or locker I am looking at 15X10 or 15x8 prostar rims and ET STREETS or ET radials.

I would rather not roll my fenders yet....

what would you all suggest for tires and rims for best hookin up with what i have.
Please Help!!!

Get the rear made to fit a 1982-92 F-Body. That way you don't have to run as much back spacing. All of the mounting points are the same and they can still add the ABS stuff if you need it. Tire and rim size depends on what you are planning to do with the car. Bigger will not always equate to faster.

Good Luck,

Daren

I'd run a 28x12.50 hoosier QTP dot tire on a 15x10, don't buy an 8" rim it will limit you to tire size down the road if you want to go bigger, with a 15x10 you can go to a 315 60 15 / 29.5 10.5w

get the 15x10s, and 275/50/15 radials and you wont have a single issue, thats assuming your have already been grinding on your calipers.

i have stock fenders and the bumpstops still there.
