Default Help! Buying Jeg Stars have some questions!

Going with 15x4 and 15x8...

What is the correct back spacing so it doesnt stick out all funny like?
What size tire should I go with on the front tire?

The car will be driven on the street as well as the track. Im not going with full out slicks. PLEASE HELP!

15x4 1.75
15x8 5.5

Look at mickey thompson and m&h for radial front runners.

Also, youre going to need longer studs.

Sounds right to me. Do you really want your wheels sticking out 1" farther than these? That is an 8" rim with 6-1/2" BS and it looks like a perfect fit to me.

His car is ****!


I ended up going with warrior rts. In 1.75 front and 5.5 in back. Fitment isn't perfect but will get the job done. I got too good a deal to pass up. They really don't poke a ton. I will put some pics up. I think the 26/10/15 sticks a little far out on the back so I might get different tires. They kinda bulge a bit.
