good stuff Frank

I dont know if I want to go crazy with a 325. I have been doing some research and I think I'm going to go with the MT 295/55/15.

Heres how my car sits now:

I may even just get the tires and put them on these wheels, it says recommended width of 8-10.5, so doesnt make sense for me to buy 15x10's when I can put the 295's on my 15x9 that I already have

15x8 with 5.5 BS or 15x10 with 6.5 BS are really the only two good options out there for our cars.


15x8 would put you 2.5" out with 5.5 BS and 15x9 would put you at 3.5" Out with 5.5BS.

So your clearance issue is your 9" wide wheel with a 5.5" BS Id buy the correct wheel and use the tires you have and see how you like it. Don't have a good rear pic of my old car but watch this video. There the same size tire you have but on a 15x10 with 6.5 BS and they fit perfect.

I think once you roll your fenders you should be fine. Its a must to have your fenders rolled if want want any kind of beef out back..

I had 315/35 in the rear with no rubbing and not flipping the quad shock. I am getting 18x10 for the rear on friday and throwing a 305/30 on there.

How are those types of setups on the street?

Honestly, fine. Dont expect to do 80mph around turns, but I have absolutely zero complaints.

Is that a 28" tire though?
