youll have to hammer your inner fender well, and you may want to get your fenders rolled. but yes theyll fit

what would fit with out rolling my fenders and hammeing my inner fender

15x8's would fit better. the 10s are overkill. but fitment issues will be determined more by your tire size than anything else. 15x8's with a 275/50/15 M/T drag radial will take the least amount of mods to make fit.

...or so im told

Never mind the work you have to do to the calipers to make them fit.

The 15x10 wheel is not overkill. A 15x10 opens up a wider selection of tire choices. 15x8s are limited to only a couple of tire sizes. Either size rim in a Weld Prostar will require modification to your OEM calipars.

by wider selection do you mean bigger tire? keeping in mind hes trying to fit these wheels with out hammering the wheel wells or rolling the fender. im taking a stab in the dark here and am assuming that the car is just a weekend cruiser or maybe even daily driver...which in that case, 15x10s are overkill. a 15x8 with a 275 drag radial would be fine. considering that cars are in the 7's on them.

yes 275's are in the 7's but there on a 10 in wheel .... they fit fine and are not an overkill but 10 or 8 in wheels require major grinding not pounding the wheel well or rolling the fenders . you will need to see how the fit then make the mods...but the grinding is priority

By wider selection I mean more variety of tire choice, yes. My 15x10s fit fine without any modification to my wheel wells, and you are correct people are in the 7s on a 275 tire. The funny thing about that, is they are on a minimum of 10 inch, and most cases a 12 inch wheel, so that kind of contridicts what you're saying. I would get into tire sizes and contact patches with various rim sizes, but I'm sure you already know all about that.

And I know you're not comparing a 7 second drag radial car to his "stock suspension daily driver" as you put it. You do realize the suspension on a 7 second drag radial car isn't even in the same ballpark as that of the suspension on his "weekend cruiser."

To add to your argument further, they do not run 7s on the 275/50r-15 tire that you have previously mentioned. They use the most sidewall they can in running a taller tire as the added sidewall will provide better traction. 275 radial guys use a 28" tall radial, not a 25.7" tall radial like the 275/50r-15 you had mentioned.

Where did I say "stock suspension daily driver"??????

havent stock suspension mustangs gone into the 6s on drag radials?? apparently ive been wrong about everything else in this thread so you might want to confirm this statement as well.

Right here. You assumed that his car was a weekend car or daily driver. Chances are it is. Thus confirming that his car is not set up to run 7 second ETs on a 275 radial.


They sure have. Again, the suspension geometry on a sub 7 second drag radial car is a bit more thought out, and setup than that of a daily driven F-body. I'm sure you're well aware that the term "stock suspension" doesn't refer to the way it rolled off the assembley line, and that it does mean that components are just in the factory location.

ok you win. O/P...apparently you just need to grind your calipers and the 15x10's will fit with out doing any other modifications. sorry we hijacked your thread arguing over something you didn't even ask about.
