From what I've heard you REALLY need to remeasure that wheel. It's a 15x7, and you CAN fit a 275 on there, but a 255 or 245 would be really safe.

Then you shouldn't have bought such a small wheel.

Atleast an 8" wide wheel with 4.5" BS or a 10" wheel with 6.5" BS.

What would happen if I put the 26x10.5-15 et streets on the rims I bought? Is this dangerous or just not going to work correctly? The site says the "minimum recomended" size 7.3 rim width.

I think I would want to try that and if it doesnt work I will buy $50 steel wheels from summitracing.com
