I was just browsing Summit and apparantly starting 4/20/08 they'll be making their 15" star wheels in 15x10 with a 6.5 inch backspace. That's awesome, since it's going to save me about $70 per wheel. I was going to get the Centerline Telstars, since they came in 6.5 backspace, but now I'm gonna save a big amount. And 4/20 is right around the time I'll get my tax money.

And while I'm here, how would a 29" tall tire look on a new edge. I wanted 28", but MT doesn't make the Sportsman tire in that size. It's stock rear springs, so no drop. They will fit height wise, right? I personally think they'll look pretty sick with a tall tire in the back. I'm not worried about what it'll do to performance and gear ratio. This set of wheels and tires are for regular street driving. I'll have a set of 28" slicks come track season (if winter ever ends around here).

 

I seen that too. There alot cheaper than the Welds. Something to look forward to if I can ever save money.

 

that tire will look too tall IMO, and it'll throw your ABS light on and the brakes will act up unless you get a super tall front tire. If a 29 is the shortest tire for the sportsman, get something else. BTW what is your power output and gears you have/planning on?

 

28" inch tire should be plenty??????

 

I would like to get a 28", but thing is, I can't find a street tire in that height for a 15" rim that isn't over $210. The Sportsman S/R has the right size, but it's a lot more expensive. I don't want to spend that much money on tires for everyday use.

01GT4.6, what height are the slicks in your sig? 28"? A 29" will fit, right?

 

Bump.

 

You do know that EVERY STREET TIRE COMPANY makes a 275/60/15 right. Most make 315-325 with 50's also, which are almost 28's.

Why do you say that you can't find it? 29's is not a good idea. It's gonna look rediculous. I know mine did with 28's and stock springs. HORRIBLE I tell ya.

 

I searched every tire site I could find, and the only 15 inch tire I could find in 315-325 were drag radials. I don't want to DD those. I even searched individual tire company sites and couldn't find what I was looking for. Maybe I'll shoot over to the local tire shop and see what they can do. I don't want to run 29's, but up to now it looked like my only option. 315 is the smallest I want to go, though.

 

So all you want is 315's that are 28in tall? In a street tires, not too expensive. Hang on. I'll go find some.

 

Well, 315's are the smallest. 325/60/15 or 325/50/15 (whichever is closest to 28") would be best.
