Can you fit a skinnier tire than a 7.5? Do they make a 4.5" wide tire? What is the "BEST" size to go with on the rear with a 15x10" I heard a 325/50/15 will fit but I can't believe it. That is a pretty wide tire.

There isnt a very big selection when you go 17 and they are fairly expensive when it comes to skinnies.

Only real two option for a radial are the m&h and the Hoosier. M&h is back ordered alot. Bout about 7". They look real small tho.

I ran 295/55r15 and 325/50r15 et street radials. The 325s fit I had to massage the bump stop bracket just ever so slightly. The forward edge was barely touching, just tapped it alittle flatter and was good to go.

Cut 1.46 60' on the 295s, the 325s help on the street a little more tho.
