well do you want sticky tires? I have MT ET Streets currently.. i am going to be grabbing those wheels probably after i see some pics of yours on and im thinking about putting the ET streets on those too

Seems to fit 8" wide 15" rims: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3762R/

Well, the widest STREET tires I'd recommend are 245's. I'm sure you could fit a little wider, maybe 255's or even 265's, but I wouldn't recommend it. My last wheels were 18x8.5 up front, and I could fit 265's no problem. Now I run 17x9.5 up front with 275's and 18x10.5 in the rear with 295's. I'd like to go wider in the rear, but don't want to do any modifications.

275s is about the biggest you want to run on a 8in rim. I have them on mine and they look great!

No.

No.

You're first question needs to determine tire height. What gears do you use What transmisison? What RPM do you shift at?

If you want a 26" tire:

You can run Mickey Thompson 26x11.5-15 ET Streets
You can run Mickey Thompson 275/50r-15 ET Street Radials

If you want a 28" tire:

You can run Mickey Thompson 28x11.5-15 ET Streets
You can run Mickey Thompson 275/60r-15 ET Street Radials

If you're really making power, and want a 30" tire:

You can run Mickey Thompson 30x12.5-15 ET Streets
You can run Mickey Thompson 295/65r-15 ET Street Radials
You can run Mickey Thompson 315/60r-15 ET Street Radials

Well I was just talking about everyday street tires. Not drags or street radials.

You said the biggest you want to run is 275s on a 8" rim.

I have 295, and 315 radials on a 8" rim.

Im looking to get a dr....i saw where M/T has a 295 55/15 that can fit an 8 inch rim. does anyone have a pic of these on a car???? maybe you have a pic camaro396???

These are a fairley new tire, so I havn't seen them yet. But they sound like they would work out good.

Ah ok I thought you meant that the 275 was to wide! I thought about doing the 295/50/15s and was told by alot of people they were to wide for a 8in rim. I would like to do them if thats not the case!

I have a buddy that runs the m/t dr with a stock rear and a 3800 stall he pulls 1.6 60fts on motor and 1.5 on the spray its still in there.
