I thought about those, but they are recommended for 8.5" rims and above. I don't want much tire bulge. I got to drive my car everywhere I go--it's my only car and I don't want unnecessary tire wear (on side walls), esp on 15,000 mile drag radials.

Also, I'm not sure what type of clearance I would get with 275s. Also, I love the look of the 255/60/15s on my car. I can't believe those ******* drag tire manufacturers won't be more diverse in their sizes. So what, is the 15x8" rim so uncommon that there is a lack of tire sizes (compared to other wheels).

exgmguy, do you have a photo of your tires on your wheels? If you could post it or send it to me via email, I would greatly appreciate it.

How much tire bulge? When you say 60 series, do you mean 275/60/15? So you say they work out well on yours?
