Default 3 piece front and wheel/tire combo...

What offset and tire size and you guys running. I want to stick with et streets but the 225 really doesn't cut it.

I would think a 15x8 with a 5 inch backspacing would work well. Ahobbs ran that size wheel with his 235's

No sir I did not.

I ran a 225 on mine and my backspacing is not 5. The 235's are way too fat and look ugly imo. if you ran a 235/50/15 that toyo makes it make work with a 5 back spacing. You won't have a much lip

Not drag radials. Road race unfortunately. But they are the
correct size.
