Default Help with wheel sizing

Im looking to pick up a set of cheaper drag wheels to run on my 02 SS...I basically want to know the largest Mt ET street radial that routinely fits our cars on a 15inch rim....This is of course without a BFH or rolling the fender lips or anything!!!! Also any ideas for rim sizing and manufacturer?

If you run an adj panhard bar you can run a 10" or maybe even a 10.5"
but why run the risk of slicing your tire?

Just roll the fender lips it is no big deal.

PM me and I can rent you my roller for the week.

The only way to fit a wide tire is to use a bfh or roll the fender lips. If you don't want to do that you'll pretty much have to stick with 275's unless you run a tire that runs narrow
