Default Need 15' wheel and tire combo help!!!!!!!

For the street ,so i want a drag radial. They r gonna be 15x10 in the back, here's the problem: I'm looking for something in a 26' tall maybe 27' tall. But the width is my problem. I need a 315,325, but i would have to pick my car up to much in the rear, because these are 28' tall and i don't wanna have to do that. All the 26' tall tires are for 7-8 in wide rims. Does anyone have pics of them on a x10? Curious to see how bad they strech the tire, i don't wanna put something on my car that will look like ****. Thanks for ur help guys!
Chris

Alot of people are doing great with a 275-50. a taller tire would be a 275 60. also you can fit either on a 8 inch wheel to get a larger footprint and less rolling resistance.

A 275/50 on a 15x10 will not bulge. I ran these on my old bird and they looked killer in my opinion. A 275/60 will bulged a tiny bit on a 10 inch rim but they look really good.



That is a pic of a 275/50 on a 15x10 with a 6.5" bs. Sorry if its crappy but thats the only one I have.

Thanks man, it sit flush w/ the rim? Didn't bludge inwards at all? A 275 is only rated for a 8-9in rim.
Anyone have any pics up close of the rim/tire?

The 275 is only rated for a 8-9 inch rim but fit damn perfect on that 10. It sat flush with the rim and did not bulge inwards at all. I have seen the 275/60 on a 10 inch rim and it did bulge inwards a bit.
