I'm looking for something I could drive on the street and the skinnies up front and ET streets in back scare me a bit for something that gets driven often.

Has anyone done the 17x9.5 front and 15x10 in the rear? I have some Nitto NT05s I'll throw on the front, but was thinking some Nitto NT555R 275/50R15s on the back...

Edit. Wait the 275s would be better on an 8" rim.

Okay, well 325/50R15s in the NT555Rs. Would that throw ABS having a 26" front and 28" rear tire?

Go with a smaller front. Like a 7 inch with a 215 on it. Drives good. And yes. Your abs will be inop with a 26/28 combo.

Looks awesome with the 325s in the rear. I figure the NT555Rs won't grip quite like the ET Streets, but should be more streetable.

ABS INOP... damn. And I have a set of new NT05s, so I would like to keep them and throw them on the 9.5s. Hmm.

Edit: I see guys running the 275/50R15 on the 15x10s. I guess I could run that? Won't be as much beef as the 325s, but it would probably clear better and work with a 275/40-17 front for the street...

Any grinding needed with your set up?

I know there was someone on here a few months ago selling these Darkstars for a killler price. Can you still get them for that price, and if not, where can I find the best deal on them. I'm debating between the Darkstars and Billet Specialties Street Lites.

Nate, if you go with an aftermarket rear, I'd do the BS Street Lites. You can get custom offsets and narrow the rearend. That'd be sweet.

If you stick with the 10-bolt for some reason, I'd still get the Street Lites. They are cheaper by like $100 from what I've seen for 15x10s and don't require grinding.

The Darkstars look better tho...

Anybody run regular ET streets on these wheels? What setup (IE tubes, screws, or nothing)? Thinking about ditching the radials and ordering fronts.
