Your going to want a 15X10 Rear.. and for the front tire size get you a 26X7.50-15 and call it a day..

First, do you have stock axles in the rear? What brakes up front? You can get either a 15x3.5 w/1.75" backspacing or 15x4's w/2.25" backspacing for the fronts. In the rear you can go with a 15x10 with 6.5" backspacing or 15x8 w/5.5" backspacing. If you are running stock length axles you will need a 1/2" spacer in the rear and you will have to roll the fenders and move the brake lines if you are running 15x10's. You wouldn't have that issue with 15x8's. The 15x10's look better, but you will have to modify a few small things. The front will also need 1/2" spacers and some grinding on the brake caliper bars will be necessary if you have sn95 brakes. Not sure if you have to do anything with stock fox brakes up front.

Here a a couple pics of my car with 15x4's and 15x10's. The rear tires are 26x11.5 15's and the fronts are 26x7.5 15's like Emilio said.

nice car bobby....i like how it sits. almost like mine. only faster...lol

Thanks BJ. Not sure if it will have the same stance once I get all of the suspension adjusted and aligned. It may not be very effective at transferring weight unless I raise the front a bit.

[orange395w]

prostars look more aggressive. IMO. Draglites are cool 2 though.

 

[beejay31000]
