help with tire size. about to order some.
here are the wheels i have:
they suck and i hate them. but summit has 50 summit bucks when you buy 2 MT ET streets right now. so im going to buy them and hold off on the wheels later. i dont know specifically what size wheel i have but its either one of these two listed below and their specs
wheel size: 15x7 bolt pattern:4 on 4.25/4.5 offset:0 mm backspace:4
wheel size:15x8 bolt pattern:4 on 4.25/4.5 offset:-18 mm backspace: 3 3/4
will they both fit a 275/50/15 MT ET street and still fit on the car?
MT ET streets says their 275's will fit anything from 7.5" to a 9" rim. IMO my rim doesnt look like a 7" wide rim, but can you tell me? here is a picture with a 245/55/15 tire on it.
lookin at the picture it looks like it has barely any side bulg which maybe me think its an 8" rim, but the rim it self has no markings to be able to tell. please help

With as little buldge that you have it looks like a 8" wide wheel. what brand tires do you have on those???? I have been looking for a 245 tire but all I can find that is reasonable is the 245/60. Dunlop has a 245/50 but its over $200 a piece.

^^not sure what brand, they were mounted word side facing inwards because the letters are white. its such an awkward size though. my fronts are 235/60/15 and my rears are 245/55/15. they came on the car.
you think those tires if it is an 8" rim with those specs would fit a 275/50/15 without fitment issues?

I have 275/60/15's on the back of my 83' right now, they are goodyear eagle's, just on stock turbines 15x7, are the MT's wider than most? Measure the width of your rims with a big caliper, or buy an actual plastic one at a parts place, one cant cost that much.
