I DD with M/T Sportsmans. I have C5 corvette wheels and the skinnies pull and shimmy the car much less. Wide front tyres are nice but a hassle sometimes.

I don't corner fast or speed but I have the same amount of manuverabilty as any other regular car on the road. You won't magically fly off the road for no reason.

If you're gonna run a 15x10, go with a 275/50/15 DR.

15x10 with 325/50/15s are a badass setup.

not to barge in on this thread, but I've heard people complain about Bogarts cracking and all kinds of crazy crap and just wanna find out from someone who actually runs them on the street. I have a friend and seen tons of people running Welds with no problems,only problem is I'm sick of seeing millions of weld Prostars and Draglites everywhere.

everyone says bogarts break and this and that but ive never seen someone post up "I broke my bogarts today" or anything like that. A buddy of mine drives his mustang on bogarts all the time and he has never had a problem.

There have been threads w/ pics about people breaking their Bogarts but that's why they tell you they're not meant for the street.

Technically, yes, you can fit it, but why? How much power are you making? Majority of people on here do not need such a big tire.
