I run 15x8's with 275/60/15 MT ET Street radials but that is because I never planned on making the power that I am going to make with the new setup. When I minitub I'll go to a 15x12 with a 325/50/15 and narrow the **** out of the rearend.

If I am not mistaken you can't fit the 15x10's on our cars with the back spacing they have for them.

You can still run a 275 tire on a 15x8 rim safely. And thats more than what 90% of us need.

I am not saying you won't have to grind. But if you do have to grind, it will be very little to none, compared to what you would have to do with the Pro-Stars.

If you went with these rims, I think you will be more than happy with them. And as for having to grind, and not having an angle grinder, they are only 40.oo at lowes. or borrow someones. it will only take you a minute to complete this task anyways.

hmm thanks for the info... Basically, as some of you might know im the most indecisive person ever...
after thinking this through, i believe this might be my best idea:
SINCE im still on the 10 bolt, i can go ahead and just buy some 275 MTs and run them on my stock wheels for now. I think with some tweaking of my progressive controller, i might be able to hook up after i get out of first gear. This would probably give me some time to collect some $$$ for a new rear end, and then after that i can see my self getting a set of dedicated slicks/skinnies in the future.
I was thinking, since ive got a wideband and what not, why couldnt i get a tuning software and be able to see exactly whats goin on with the car and what not... yay or nay?

I have Some ET Streets sitting here that I'm not going to use 27X10.50-16 they are mounted on ZR1 style rims only 3 passes on them if your interested. You will have to run the longer wheel studs though, not sure about the fitment, never had them on my car.
