15x10 tire options (anyone try 275/50/15?)
I have 15x10" wheels out back and have always run a 295/50/r15 street tire.
I am really wanting some drag radials but do not want a narrower wheel since chevelles look funny with them IMO.
I can't find a drag radial that is a 295/50 size, I really want to keep the 26" diameter for both clearance and aestic reasons.
closest thing I've found is a 275/50/15 (NOT 275/60) which is listed as 11.2-11.5" section width, 10" tread width
jegs says recommended wheel is 7-11", summit says 8-9.5"
only other thing I've found is a 325/50/15, which is both too tall and too wide to fit my backspace and not look retarded
does anyone have any pictures of a 275/50 drag radial on a 10" wide wheel? any other ideas? am I going to have to buy a set of smaller wheels for track use?

sorry those are the only pics i have on this computer. the tread sits flush with the rim, and the sidewall bulges out slightly. they look like they should be on that rim
my car is a daily driver, the et streets are fine for rain i just wouldnt trust them at low tread or over 60mph in the rain on the highway
