Default tire advice

I already tried using search but couldn't find what I was really looking for. I have a 2001 WS6 pushing around 400rwhp with 4:10's and stock suspension.

I just bought a pair of jegs sport star 5-spoke wheels:

rim diameter: 15"
rim width: 8"
studs: 5
bolt circle: 4.75"
back spacing: 5.50"

Will I need to buy different wheel studs or anything or will my stock ones work?

I would also like to get a pair of M/T et streets, but I'm undecided on the size that would best suit me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I would not see why you would need different wheel studs. Unless the mount flange is bigger than the stock ones. Which I would hope not.

I would try a 255 60 15 tire on that 8 inch rim. Height wise would depend on the clearnce in the rear fender area. if it is lowered that does not help any. But here is a link to there tires if that help you out. I don't know if you know there sizes.

Thanks for the reply. I was kind of thinking about going with a 275/60/15. Would there be a big difference between the 255 and 275?
