Default Pro Star ?

How is a 275/50/15 going fit/look on a 15x10 Pro-Star?? Not enough width??

Also, do Pro-Stars use shank type lugs just like Draglites??

Thanks in advance!

I have that tire on my 15x8. I'd think it'd look funny on a 10 even if it fit. Yes shank lugs.

looks like the tire will fit fine, but whats it gonna take to get a 5.5" BS 15x10 to fit without rubbing? How far is it going to stick out past the fender? PICS????

man i had them on the eights for a week and hated it they look 100 times better on the 10's , with the 8s they were bulged and stuck out past the fenderwell but with the 10s they are more squared looking and gives you more of a contact patch

to sum it up i would never put a 275 on an 8 inch rim
