Default I need some wheel advice...

I need to go ahead and order some 15 x 10's Prostars and I need to know the backspacing and the bolt pattern.

I need to know what tires I should get for these rims. I want some ET streets and want to know if it is just a simple deal of taking it somewhere to get mounted and balanced and putting them on the car.

Which are better the 26" or 28" tires????

Any help is greatly appreciated...

The right BS for a 15x10 is 7.5" The bolt pattern is 5x4.75"

Tire size is a matter of choice. You probably won't want to run a 28" tall tire with stock gearing. I run 28x10.5's with 4.33 gears in my auto.

depends on your setup about the tire situation. i know of a guy who cant hook the 26 et street. but we have discussed that the 28 inch tire is to big for his setup. so that left us w/ the hoosier quick time pros 27/10.5/15 <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">
