tires i can fit to 15 x 10 welds ?

5000cc · 06-14-2002, 04:52 PM

Guys , I have 15 X 10 weld rims with 265/50/15 right now( they are in the back ), I bought those tires used from a friend of mine. I 've been running around with it for a while now. These tires seems too narrow for the rim, i am ready to put new set of tires ( only 2 tires ) . My question is i want to put wider tire made by cooper ( cobra gt ) size 295/50/15 but i think it may rub the tail pipe. I do not know anybody that manufacture tire size 275/50 or 285/50 street tire. Have you guys ever seen or use those tires. please let me know . Thanks

I use those tires on my car with no problems. If you have quad shocks still on the car they will rub those.

got 275's on 9" rims, they fit perfectly...no bowing of sidewall, not too skinny. not familiar w/ 275/50 or 285/50 series, but they gotta make 'em w/ all the choices out there.
