Hi guys. I'm putting together a order for these wheels front and back from mccormickracing.com and I was wondering if these rear wheels would fit the 15x10 rear wheel.

Mickey Thompson - ET Street Radial

MT3754R P275/60R15 MT site says approved rims are 7.5-9.5

Race stars are 10", so I'm wondering?

I thought I read somebody was using these. Does anyone know if there would be any issues?

98 Trans AM with stock rear end btw

Thanks

Check pg 9 the silver z has 17x7 and 15x10s, 17x9s are just going to be a lil wider,noone runs a 15x10 up front,15x4 15x3.5 is what most people run, 15x10 in front would be a bad idea, there are no good tires you can run up front on a 15x10

I am looking into getting the dark stars. According to their website they have the 17x9.5 and 15x10 as the only street approved wheels for the dark star. I have a black WS6, and from the pictures I've seen over the years, this is one of the few aftermarket wheels I really like on the car.

Because the car is going to see the street more than anything, I don't want to put skinnies on the front for maybe a pass or two a year at the track, and sacrifice the safety/handling on the street (even though the car isn't DD). I was having issues finding tires for the 15x10 on the rear that would match a height for the 17 in the front, so I was considering 15x10 all around, because i felt it would be my only option (I wanted to put 15s in the back, so 17s all around wasn't something I was considering). I realize I can get tires that may be different heights, but then I would be introducing the ABS fiasco, and I'm not quite ready to 86 the ABS yet.

I realize 15x10 is a lot for the front. Even though I was thinking about it, I wasn't committed to it...

After more digging following my last post, I found a tire that will match (height wise) with something I can put on a front 17, so I'll be going with 15/17 combo

pretty easy to match a height with a 17 front, imoi would go with the 17x7 fronts,they will look better and i doubt you will notice any diff, between a 17x7 and 17x9

According to Race Stars website, the Dark Star is only offered in a 17x9.5.

Originally I was looking for a 27-28" tall tire for the front that would fit that size rims. That's where I was having the issue (I'm not even sure its a good idea to use a tire that tall up front for any street driving, even if its not DD).
