Tire/Wheel size
 

Will 15" 10 hole wheels work OK auto crossing? What size racing tires should I use. The 225 50 15's are about all the had at tire rack.

Thanks...

90 LX, minor stuff, 3.55's, BBK specific rate springs, Monroe shocks and struts.

i have a related question. i am lookin at tires for my ten holes, and the guy at the tire place told me a 235/50/zr/15 would fit in the wheel well of my 86 lx...does anyone know?


------------------
86LX 306 out of a 69. c-4 auto with b&m shift kit. stock 3.08 gears
1 5/8" flowtech longtubes, 2 1/2" flowmasters, edelbrock performer intake
Holley 650 vacuum carb. ported, polished stock heads.
the car dyno'd with 340 at the wheels, and i expect low 13's to high 12's with it

There are several places you need to be concerned about in the fitting of tires/wheels.
With a 15" rim, I cannot say for sure (never done 15"). But several epople I know run 245-50-16 on the stock Pony wheels.
I ran 245-50 and 245-45's on 16x8" wheels,
without really worrying.
Finally I upgraded to 275-40's on my 17x9-1/2" wheels. Now THESE needed some masaging of the fenders...
