Default Tire Sizing

What size ET Streets (not radial) should I get for 15"x8" Pro Stars? Cam, bolt-on, M6 with 3.42s. I will more than likely go with 4.11s when I buy a 9", but that may be a couple months (or after I break the 10-bolt, whatever comes first). By then 275 series radials should be available again.

28.00 x 11.50, 27.00 x 10.50, or 26.00 x 10.50

With 26" I should have no wheel well issues correct? What about with the 27" or 28"?

Should I run 26" or 28" Sportsman fronts?

26 inch front and rear. 28x9 also works well, but that is a slick

Try 26/11.50/15. They are like a 26/10 et drag.

15x10 and 325/50 ET Street Radials is another option all though I'm not to sure about it. The way my car is now I think it may be a dog with 28s, but I'm not sure.

If I go with 8" wide wheels, I would get the 26" ETs and use them until 275/60s radials are available and put them on when I get a new rear with 4.11s. Am I on the right track here?

I would have to use a 10" rim with those, so I might as well get the radials since thats what I want anyways.

I used 'em on an 8" rim before I bought my Bogarts. Although your not getting the whole contact patch down, they worked great.

I think I'm going to get the 15x8s and 26" and then pick up some 275 series D/Rs when they become available again.
