Default prostar tire options??

just picke up a set of prostars 15 x 10 and 15 x 3 in the front.

im loooking for a DR to stick on the back. i know a Mickey Thompson 26 x 11.5 will work. i was told a 325/50/15 would fit also....

are there any other tire options for the 15 x 10? like a 315?

any help would greatly be appreciated

275/60/15 or 275/50/15/ will fit with really no modifications at all besides the 275/60 might rub in a few places since its a 28'' tall tire or you could go with the 325/50 like mentioned. What type of power does your car make? You could always run a 28x10.5 slick

Also forgot about the 295/55/15, its a 28'' tall tire but not as wide as the 325 so it fits a little better with the normally used 15x10 7.5 wheels. Just my opinion.

What gear are you going to run Dave? on your setup now, a 28'' tire will be too tall. For the 325/50/15, me and Alex had to remove my bump stops completely, and beat a little more on my wheel wells and roll the fenders as well (Eastwood kit FTW)

im gonne be running 3.73's. should be getting a few more mods too. the bottles on too just waiting to tune her and spray

i have no bump stops as it is. beating the wheel wells would be fine as would rolling the fenders.

why would the 28" tall tire be a bad idea?

i think i may go with the 325/50/15 so that i have a bit more traction and rubber on the ground. not to mention they arent very expensive...

You should have bought mine lol. Its a bad idea because its too tall of a tire. With 3.73s and your setup, 26'' would be perfect.

I agree with you the other guy, the 325 looks bad *** when done right but most of the time it ends up looking like something out of the 60's with the rake. And when it comes to price they all are with in a few bucks. The 28 tire will take away a little bit of your gearing and also lose a few mph compared to the smaller 26 tall tire. If your under or around 500rwhp I would go with the 275/50 or the 275/60 if its a m6 and you leave hard at the track.

Dave, I am running the 27 x 10.5 on an 8 inch prostar. I havent bolted it up yet as waiting on the Aerospace brakes to arriive, but will let you know how it runs. With 3.73s, my final should be a healthy 3.59 ratio, plenty for the bottle as you said. I think the 27 x 11.5 has some great ratings and takes minimal to no effort to fit. If you are looking for a set of fronts I have those M/T ET fronts 24 x 6.0 for sale PM me. I am gonna go with the sportsman so I can drive on the street.
