15x10 size rim, no tire selection?
I currently have 15x10 rear rims on my rx-7, and was using a nitto 555R drag radial (275/50) and they have worn out. But as before, I cant seem to find a nice street/road race tire in a lower proflie! It seems 15x10 is doomed to muscle car tires with HUGE sidewalls. I dont do any drag racing, so these tires suck!
If anyone can help me find a lower profile tire for these rims let me know. I'm using V700 (225/50) in the front and they are a perfect profile for me. But the front rims are 15x8, which has many tires availble. Oh yeah the tire for the rear must be a treaded R-compound, so hoosiers would not be too streetable.
(see sig. for my setup, and give any sugestions on what front rear tire combo will be better)
Thanks!

Yeah, you're pretty much stuck with at least a 16" wheel for tires in the 255-295 width range.
You can get some killer drag slicks for 15x10s though
Good luck!

If you switch to 16 inch wheels, I might be interested in your 15 x 10s. I can use them in F Prepared and am looking for a set, particularly if they are lightweight. PM me if interested.
