We have tried a few different types and sizes of tires and I thought it might be useful for others to be able to see how they fit. The axles in the car are of stock length, meaning the axle housing was not narrowed at all. A 15x10 wheel with a 6.5" back-spacing was used in all of the pics show below. None of these tires required a spacer of any kind. Please note: All of the tires shown here when used with the 15x10 wheel with 6.5 BS will require you to massage the inner wheel housing (AKA: Beat the ever-living piss out of the sheet metal in the wheel housing until it moves far enough inward so that the tire does not rub anymore) and roll the fender lips.

 

28x11.5 Hoosier Quick Time Pros

This tire fits well and it is exactly the same size as a Mickey Thompson 28 x 10.5 ET Drag.

 

275-60-15 BFG Drag Radial

This tire fits great as well.  However, it does have a slightly narrow contact patch than the Hoosier QTP show above.  Its tread width is often listed as ~8.8 inches, but when using a 10 inch wide wheel it tends to spread the foot print out a bit more than that.

 

275-60-15 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial

Again as the others listed above, this tire fits very well.  This happened to be the tire we chose to use this spring (2006).
