Default What size tires and wheels?

Getting ready to order some mickey thompson stree radials and a pair of wheels to mount them on. Just wondering what size would be best. I am thinking about going with 15in wheels because it seems they 15in. tires are easier to get. any suggestion would be helpful. thanks

Here's what 275/50/15's look like. The rear wheel size is 15x10 w/ 7.5 back spacing.







Those are the Mickey Thompson ET Street radials. They're right at 11 inches wide. Hope that helps.

heres a 275/60/15 Its a nitto but you can get the picture.






Now you say you are looking for a 15" wheel. What year is your car??? if it is an Fbody you will have a very limited selection on wheel choice without Modification. the wheels posted above Fit on a lt1/Ls1 without modification.
