Well, with the 15x10s you'll be running a 28" tire which is going to change your gearing. What gears do you have now?
Tire of choice for most will be M/T ET Street Radials. At least, that's what I'm going to be supporting.

Dang, I was under a misconception. I thought that the 10" rimwould be too big for the 26" tire. But now that I think about it. 275/60 or 275/50 is still 275 wide.

No, i thought the 10 inch rim was too big for the 26" tire. I'm an idiot sometimes.

well its not daily driven, but i want it to hook on the street also and when i get my 3500 stall it will def need to be sticky so maybe the et streets are right for me?? but im not getting a radial tire bc im also wanting to save a lil weight also and i think that radial tires weigh more right??
