Default Tire recomendations for weld prostars?

I've decided to get a set of WELD PROSTARS, 15x3 up front and 15x8outback. What size tires fit best? I was thinking MT ET STREETS 26x10.5x15 for the rear, or will the wider 26x11.5x15 fit? And whats a good radial for the front? Thanks in advance!!

A standard 165/55/15 radial(from a VW) will work on the front and either ET Street for the back. The 10.5" will fit better though.

A 26x10.5x15 Will fit better on that rim, but the wider ones will fit too.

I have Prostar 15x10's with 26x11.5x15 ET Streets.

Will a 28x11.5x15 fit on a 15x10 ProStars without modification to the wheel well on an '01 WS6 with a Strange 12-bolt?

I will tell you this much, my 26x10.5's are very narrow. I would rather goto an 11.5 at this time. DOn't use a spacer on the rear. I grund mine until they fit without spacers and the calipers still have alot of beef left to them. I did this with the fronts as well. Mine are tucked under the car.

Bryan,, I think so, but you might have to pull back the bottom of the bumper cover...

I ran 28x9x15's on 15x8's and there was plenty of room but it got close in the bottom/rear.
