Why not do a 15X10 with with 7.5" of BS for the rear? Here is a pic of mine with the 15X10 prostars with 7.5" of BS with a 275/60/15 BFG Drag Radial, I will get a better pic from behind the car later tonight

i'd say go with SLPSS99's suggestion. There's no reason not to go with a 15x10, especially since you can fit more tire out back.

although, SLPSS99....why are you only running a 275 tire, instead of a 315 or something bigger?

My reason for the 10" wide with a 275 series is to get a bigger contact patch, if he uses a 8" wide wheel with a 275 series tire the contact pach is not going to be that big.

Oh and here is a better shot of how the 15X10s tuck in the rear

You tell me. Your the one in the 10 second club

jk, yes you WILL need to grind for Prostars AND Draglites. Spacers will lessen the grinding needed, but will stress your stock length wheelstuds. Prostars require grinding in the front a little bit even with spacers, and Draglites require NO grinding on the front with spacers.

I had to gring the front and rear, I have no spacers up front, but do have a 7/32 spacer in the rear. My 15X3.5 have 1.75" of BS I know it's a little late now but thats what I have

Ok i ordered the wheels and tires from the links above except a 15x10 rear wheel. I have grinded the **** outta the brake calibers on the front and rear and all 4 wheels are still scrapping the calibers. I bought some 7/16 spacers for the front wheels and they seem to be too big. Ended up putting some washers on the studs on front and back. Need to know what im doing wrong.

Answer me this....... are you still running stock wheel studs up front????

If so you are asking for trouble big time.......
The extra pressure on the stock studs is going to be to much and ""MANY"" people have sheers the stock studs off and crashed because of it....
The wheels will fit with-out spacers front and rear and that is the ""CORRECT"" way to do it. You will have to grind and check, grind and check and repeat... it sucks but its what must be done.
You should of just ordered a 325/50/15 if you ordered the 15x10" wheels.... looks alot meaner
Either way will work.... just double check fender clearence before driving them on the street.
