    255/55r15

    Hey ya'll -

    I'm looking at purchasing a set of American Racing wheels that currently have tires on them at 255/55r15. My question is more toward the size of the wheel. Can any of you tell me what the size of the rim is based on the tire size? Secondly, if I do go with these, since I'm going to be racing them at the strip, will I need any modifications to get them on correctly?

    Thanks!

        If you're curious about the width of the wheels, it should be stamped on the inside if you take a wheel off and look. I imagine its between 8-9.5 based on the tire size

          Yeah I was more curious about the width of the wheel. I was figuring it was around 8. I'm trying to decide if these would be a good purchase to put my MT ET streets on or not. I'm worried about clearances and back spacing since I know nothing about new rims! Never changed them before.

              Yes, but I'm not sure what kind. Here is the ad for them: http://lasalle.craigslist.org/pts/4041320179.html. Not a lot of details but did send me a pic of them. Pretty simple 5 spoke pattern and looked to be in good condition. All I need them for is strip duty. But dont want to have to deal with break clearence and stuff if they are too short. I know the 98+ have issues with that but mine is a 97
