What is the widest tire that can be used with a set of turbines?

primetime5.0

arent they like seven inches wide? I know stock size was like 225-60-15

I am not sure, the donor car I am getting has a set on it and I figured I can deal with those for awhile instead of spending the $1100 on the wheels and tires I want when I get back from Iraq.

If they are 7 inches wide I will be going with a set of 245's but I think they may have been 6 wide.

I didn't want to say this out loud, but umm.. I ran a pair of 28 x 10.5 slicks on a pair when I had my old car. It was cheap, and about the only 4 lug 15" rim I could find at the time.

Thats cool, I am gonna use street tires for now though. I may mount some slicks on a pair later down the road though.

Believe it or not fellas, It happened. And best of all, I didn't have $40 bucks tied up in the combo. I was just a broke *** kid. In my early twenties, just got married and had bought a house about a year before I built that car so I had a really tight budget and they were the only wheels I could find readily available to fit some wore out slicks a buddy was throwing away. I took the car to the track and beat the crap outta those tires. Broke my transmission case that day also. I can't for the life of me figure out how that happened. lol

So everyone says thats crazy but you guys don't have thoughts on what is the widest tire that can comfortably fit on a turbine wheel? I found that they are 15x7's
