15x8=5.5 BS 15X10=7.5 BS. They dont make a 8.5" rim at Weld in a Drag lite.

Summit has them in stock they say. Call them and see if they will price match TSP's price of 379.99.

275-50-15's fit the best. lays flat and the sidewall walk you feel with too wide of a wheel on too small of a rim is not there.

Whatever you do decide on the headers, make sure you get the Race version. The Air and EGR stuff dont mate up in the ones ive installed for the last 2 years. We end up cutting and welding those holes up.
