skib Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Iv started looking for tires for my 15x10's So far all Iv found is drag radials and nearly slicks comp tires. What are you guys running for street tires? Also, they have a 4in back space on them, I know theyl fit on my ZX but I cant recall if thats with or without coilovers.

h4nsm0l3m4n Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) 15x10s are going to be hard to find street tires for. Widest readily available street tires I've found are 225/50-15. You have to go to 17s before you have any real tire selection, especially if youre going wide.

Meph Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 225/50 are the norm, I have 205/55 on my 15x10 because I got a set cheap. they have too much stretch for my liking but not as stupid looking as you'd imagine. Im going to get be getting a pair of 225/50's over the winter hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicArtist Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm planning on running 205's front and 215 or 225 rear when I get my 15x10s. Anything wider than that on a 10 is overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 16's have a lot better choices but I believe BFG makes the t/a radial in a 275/60/15 not too bad a bit tall on the sidewall though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran these and with perfect BS on the rims you will need flares and !/4 adjustment for them not to rub... Or the back of your car jacked up so high it looks like a old school camaro. If you shoot me a PM reminder i will see if i can hunt down some pics of what teh car looked like with these tires adn a set of WATTS. Also may be able to find it in one of my build threads in the rb section. The pics are almost 12 years old.

skib Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 anyone have pictures of 225/50's mounted on 10s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I didn't see your specific combo, but a lot of stretch pics are in this library at tyrestretch.com I'm not sure how significant the wheel diameter is when comparing tires (ie. 225/50/15 vs 225/50/17) if the width is the same. It would follow that the sidewall height (and resulting deflection) would be the same, but with a larger total diameter on a larger wheel, yes? Here's the tallest 225 I saw on a 10" wide wheel (225/45/17): Edited December 8, 2011 by cockerstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think so some stretch on that but not horrible. not into the whole hellaflush thing at all wide tires are for more rubber. but the 225s arnt to bad Im going to be running these 15x10s Edited December 8, 2011 by skib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-ya Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 You could call them comp, but they are DOT. Hoosier makes a 275-35ZR15. OK, they are comp... Not a great selection in 15". There used to be tons of tires available in 225-50R15. Now there are only one or two street tires available in that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19762802+2 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Crazy octopus has 15x10 drw's with 225/50/15 on his 240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightoftheRound Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) I also have 225/50/15 on my SSRs. They are 15x10 -40, fit mostly fine with just crappy cut stock springs on my 82 280ZX, Can't say it rode awesome though, lol.. Wheels are on my 70 240Z now.
