what is the best size tire to put on a 15x10 rim? I am getting diamond racing wheels and i know the 15x8 i can run 205.50.15 but i can't find many that have 10 in the rear. Hope it's not a retarded question. Not sure if i want to stretch either. its not lowered yet either so-

You don't really have a choice here. 225/50 is the widest size available for 15's in DOT approved tires.

It's not so bad though.

Diamonds are NOT for DD'ing. They're a motorsport wheel only, they dont hold up to the stress of daily well at all.

:eek: Really? Did not know that. What happens to them?

I guess if you want some cheap 15x10 wheels for daily use, there's always Eagle Alloy 028's.

They begin to fail on constant stress. There is a reason why they're dirt cheap, they're not built to withstand regular wear.

Makes sense. Eagle Allot 028's are cheap too, but heavy as hell and with insanely low offsets. Not alot of options for 15's. I much prefer 17's.

you know... as many hondas and 240's and every other BMW Mazda Toyota, Daewoo that use these wheels, if they really broke and caused catastrophic failure as much as you say they do, don't you think you would hear about it more? Just saying. Diamonds are fine for DDing. if they crack and break buy another 40 dollar one.
