who's running 15x8 wheels out and/or 28" tire

If you have pictures great, if not no biggie.

Does the 15x8 race star fit well? How much grinding if any?

Also how bad is it to fit say a 275/60R15? Just gotta roll fender lips or what? And what are most guys running up front the 26" skinny?

I ran a 15x8 weld rim with a 28x10.5. I didn't have to do anything with stock springs and ISOs to clear. It was tight though.

I run 15x10 pro stars 6.5 BS & I've had 28x11.5 ET street (bias ply) with no issues. Currently running ET 275/50/15 MT radials. No rolling fender lip but 7" BS would be better IMO. Up front I run 3.5" with 165/15 generic junk that measure about 26".

Any grinding to fit the 15x8?

Oh ya. Plenty of grinding on the banjo bolt.

Bummer, I thought 15x8 wasn't a bad fit.

The race star 15x8 5.5bs should fit without grinding. I test fitter the 15x10 and would have only required a bit of grinding. Wish I would have went that way instead of doing to the gt brakes to get the welds to fit without grinding. Hell I still have to run a small spacer in the front. If it was me go race star 15x8 and the 17" front. Should fit with no modifications.

I emailed then was told 8 and 10 will fit but I'm going to go with 8s I think to play it safe. Welds would be cool but my front race stars are actually very nice
