    You can run any tire size you want within reason. Optimally a 26x10 usually is recommended for a 10" rim. A 28x9 and a 26x8.5 is recommended to be mounted on a 8" rim.

    with a 15x10 rim, why not go with a 26x12.50x15?

    You could always do the 325/50/15 if your car made more power.

    No one ever sees the back of his car, especially the ladies! Hell, I don't think they even see the back seat!

    If you got slicks and skinnies, why do you need tires? You already have them!!!
