One more 15X8 rim option on the cheap!

[xtweakerx]

urgh u have an 05
wish it was 07+

i heard the 07+ are a bit different when it comes to fitting the 15 inch rims.

ive heard 05+'s ussually can get away without modifying as much to fit 15inch rims but 07+ have to modify, i dont know if the brake calpier size may be different or something else? anyone want to shine some light on it

So long as you don't mount a tire on the rim, you can send it back if it doesn't fit. Just in case no one knows for sure about the '07's.

Buy them and let me know if they fit, then I will get some.

Let me make sure they will work like he says they will and I'll get you a part #.

OK thanks.

Where the hell did you hear that?

Nice to know you're willing to "take one for the team" there Wyld.

Good find. I've been looking for some cheap 15's for the rear. Great thread.

 

[Dex]

too bad we cant find a 15x10 to work and be cheap. I think with 850tq I need the extra tire so it looks like I have to go with a 10" rim.

Do you think you can put a 28x10x15 MT Drag Radial on thoses ?

Last I knew, M/T did not make a drag radial in that size... is it something new? Or are you referring to the 275/60-15 (#3754R), which they call out as an equivalent size to a 28x11.50-15? It has a 28" dia, 9.5" tread, and 11.0" section. If so, M/T recommends a 7.5"-9.5" rim, so that would work, too.

 

[Dex]

whats the biggest slick/tread width you could get away with on a 8" rim?

Yup. That sucker is 28" x 10". Seen plenty of them on 8" wheels too.

You can put a 10" tire on an 8" wheel. Not optimum but it works fairly well.

Depends on the diameter and section width, too. The safest way is to look at the tire manufacturers website and read the specs. For example, here is the link to the M/T slicks: http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETDrag

Very nice !!!


I'm searching for new daily rim and tire.
But with the 3D Carbon body kit my fender are wider, do you have a picture to see how near the tire is from the fender, the best would be to have a tire that stick a little out on your setup, to match mine ;p

I re-read your post...seems like this might be what you are looking for with a set of swaybar relocation brackets...it just might work for your setup? It won't be enough backspacing for the rest of us though!

[Dex]

wonder if there room to make the backspace bigger? Shave down the inside of the wheel?

Even the 3055 28.0/10.5-15 still needs a 10" rim. That would be a pretty big "muffin top" and not sure if i would wanna squeeze that onto a 8" rim

 

[don_w]

Even the 3055 28.0/10.5-15 still needs a 10" rim.

Not true... M/T recommends a 9.0" - 11.0" rim width for the #3055. In fact, that is the exact tire I used to run on my 15x9 Weld XPs. It worked great.

So you think putting it on a 15x8 would be ok?

 

[don_w]

No, I didn't say that. I just said that it didn't need a 10" wheel. I wouldn't put that tire on anything less than a 9".

 

[xtweakerx]

ok i guess, i heard it was a rumor from other message boards, so i guess if it works on your 05 it will work on my 07 and yah ill try it evenually.

Noone has any input on what size tires i should go for my setup, front and back for the ET Streets?

Stock Height, 4.10 gears, N/A.

Im currently on stock front tires and M&H 275/50R17 Drag Radials out back.
