I like them rims.Take it to the track ready to see how those tires hook just bought the same tires for my car waiting on my rims.Mine are going on 15x8. Looks like they fit the 10s good.

Those look great. Do you have the part number for them? And where did you get them if you don't mind me asking?

I got them from Jims Racing Tires. In my opinion, he's the only place to get them from. He is the same price and Jegs and Summit, has free shipping, but also throws in free lug nuts with washers, and valve stems. Great customer service, he knew exactly what I needed when I called.

I don't have the invoice in front of me, but the rear are 15x10 7.5 BS and the fronts are 15x7 4.5 BS both are "medium pad".

Back tires are Nitto 555R 275/50/15

Front tires are Goodyear Eagle GT 225/65/15

The front tires are just a tad smaller diameter, I wanted to keep them close so I would not have an ABS light on.

looks nice, not sure on your suspension setup but you may want to lower it slightly - would fill in loose gap between the tire and the fender
