Default What Tire Sizes Do I Need?

I am getting ready to order some Weld Prostars, 15x10s in the back and 15x3.5 up front. I need to know what size tires I need to get. I will be running MT ET Streets and Moroso DS2s. Also would I need a 26 or 28 inch tire? My car is an M6 and has 4.10 gears, I would like to keep it in 4th gear at the track. Any help would be appreciated.

Where do you shift? I have 4.10's and 28" tires and shift at 6800. A 26" tire would work better for me all motor, but I'm going to spray it to the 28" tire. I'm guessing the 26" tires would be your best bet.

If you run under 118 or so mph go with a 26" if you're going to run in the 120's get a 28", if you plan to spray it I'd get a 28"

Alright thanks, I guess I will be going with a 26" tire.

Now all I need to know is what width for the rears. I'm thinking the 11.5" tires will work but I am not sure.
