Here's a couple pics to consider. This is what can happen when you use aluminum racing wheels on the street...

WHOOPS!! Same Pro-Stars that I run. Makes ya think!

As far as size and stuff Scrappy, I have 15X8 on the back. Took off 275-60-15 tires, and put on 28 X 11.5 M/T Street ET. MINOR rolling of the fenderwell lip is all. Yeah, they'll fit. BTW, Pep Boys Futura GLS tires are the best kept secret. So-so on the street, so-so for longevity, but those suckers HOOK at the track! They don't hook like these ET Streets do, but for a low buck economy tire, Holy Cow! Food for thought when tire shopping. FYI All that smoke in my avatar is from a set of Futura's! hehehehehe

I run Weld ProStars on the street for 5 years now and they look good as new. You know you have to wash them and polish them.

Yeah, I hear that helps. lol. That rim in the picture was one of four that were on my ex's Aerostar. They had been on it for 6 years when she was flagged down by a passing trucker on the freeway. He noticed the wheel was wobbling pretty bad, and thought she should know. lol. She was told by the folks at Weld that their aluminum rims, while street legal, are not designed to be driven on the street, and that you do so at your own risk. Something about stress fractures from prolonged steady speed driving. Go figure.
