Go with a 15x8 in the Summit brand and then get the correct backspacing 5.5 and run a tire that will fit 275 60 or 50 series your preffernce based off of tire height.

I have 4.10's and would like to roll to a 28 inch tall.

Nitto's usually run small. Man... I might just go ahead and buy them and be the test dummy on this. My car does squat pretty hard tho.

Wanting to run the nitto. Looking for traction on the street as well as some tread life.

Coming off of the nitto site as far as specs i dont think its as big as everyone else is thinking this isnt a MT. I think it will be narrower and a touch shorter

Im a a4. The nittos have been doing good for me so far even with the small sidewall.

With the a 3800 stall bolt ons 4.10's i footbrake to about 24-2800 on the street. let of the brake roll to about 60% throttle for just a tenth of a second and when i really feel the weight transfer i go wot. Seems to be hooking good but i dont think it would do the same on the bottle lol

Ya you know what... **** it. Ill go ahead and buy them and see what i can do. Someone needs to do this. i can get the tires for about 370 for both of them. and the wheels are like 130-140 so im going to see what i can do.

How often is the rear end not centered? I heard this is an issue when you put on LCA brackets?

Also wont the Huge sidewall Stop some of the squat? and the sfc to some degree on the right side?

15x10/6.5 will stick out an inch, if you want like a Dukes of Hazzard look. Don't do it. You need 15x10/7.5 or in that ballpark, the 6.5's will look goofy. It's been done before, we've been putting wheels on these cars since 1998.

Here is what 15x9.75/7.25 Bogarts look like on a Formula with 325's, I sold this car last year:
