you're probably looking for a 275/50 or 275/60 in a 15" rim size?

You are going to need Atleast an 10.5 - 11" wide wheel, and I dont believe there are any such things as streetable skinnies... dont quote me on that but thats what I think. Backspacing on a stock length fbody is 7.5. If you have a stock car, you want a 15" x11" draglite w/ 7.5 backspace, but unless you are planning on running atleast 10's I wouldnt recommend that much tire. Hope this helps... I am no expert, but I noticed nobody posted anything, and a little information is better than none

for that much power I'd think a 28x10.5 stiff sidewall M/T slick would be a good choice or a 275/60 et street radial with whatever skinny combo you want up front. probably the metric 165r15 tires up front or if bias ply then 26x7.50 eight ply m/t sportsman pros.

15x10 with 7.5bs would be the rear size. the front would be 15x3.5 with a spacer probably. You'll need longer ARP studs all around as well as new lug nuts also.
