My car is getting closer everyday to what i want it to be and it has become time to really focus on traction. I was wondering what wheel/tire combos some of you guys in the singles are using? i really like prostars and would like to go with them if i can get some positive feedback....also should i look into having my new rear narrowed for wider wheels or will i be okay with a stock length??

I like Alumastars and the old Alumastar fronts Depends if you want to mini tub or how much you want to tuck the tire in?
You could run a 275 60 15, 295 60 15, 315 60 15 or 325 50 15 on a 15x10, some guys run a 15x12 on the bigger tires.
From what I see the highest average of most guys are narrowing about 3" per side and getting an offset that matches, I would have the rear narrowed, it weighs less and you can have a nicer looking deep dish offset. Say a 15x10 with 4" backspace vs a 15x10 with 7"
You can fit a 275 without touching a thing, 325 50 15 requires inner fender mods, but should clear the outer wheel well, the taller 295 and 315 60 15 would require trimming the outer fender well for clearance and some inner fender mods. i.e. possible mini tubbing if you want the tire not to stick out past the fender well or be high in the back like a truck
