Default Widest 15 inch drag radial
I know this question has probably been asked before, but here it is again and, I did do a search. I was wandering if a 275/50/15 is the widest tire you can run on a 10 in wide rim. Also i want this to be a 26 inch tire. thanks

you got it. you are limited to the wheel and height. you cant get a 26x13x15 lol.

not sure whta you are asking. you can go as big as a 315/60/15 which is about a 30x13.5x15 drag radial. sidewall is more important than width.

In a drag radial yes. You can get a wider street tire than that.

325's take some serious wheelwell massaging to get to fit. All those will fit the rim, but getting them to tuck under the car is where the fun starts.

275/50/15 = 26" tall

275/60/15 = 28" tall, 9" wide or so
325/50/15 = 28" tall, 11" wide or so
