Default ET Street Radial tires on 15" wheels! "pics"
Hey guys, I'm about to buy some et street radial tires for my race stars "15x10" wheels. Tires size I want is 255/60/15 27x10.5 but before ordering them, I wanted to see if anyone have pics of these tires on a 10" wide wheel...

If running a 255 why not just get a 15X8 wheel and save some more weight?

Cause I already have a set of rts welds that I got for a great deal.
Not sure if a 28" tire would be to much for my set up

It is not recommended to run that tire on such a wide wheel. It's designed for something more in the 7-8" wide neighborhood. Why do you want such a small tire? Why not go 275/60/15 or 295/55/15?

You need at minimum a 275 width for a 10" wheel. And even a Nitto 555R 275 will look stupid on a 10" wide wheel due to stretch. The MT and other brands are wider so they work better.

I have pics up in several threads of my 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials. They are bad-*** tires. Hook like crazy and handle well on the street.
