Re: Finally scored some 15x10 steelies
On various cars I've used bats, pipes, sockets, breaker bars, whatever size I need to fit in there. Go slow and do a little bit at a time. If you have a ton of Bondo in your fenders, now is the time you will find out.

Re: Finally scored some 15x10 steelies
If you run 275 60R series tires you should be fine and you will not need to roll the fender lips. Keep in mind every tire manufacturer is a little different. Cooper Tires may have a little softer sidewall than BF Goodrich or others. I chose Cooper Tires as they were cool to mount the tires into my rims and let me check clearance. If I was not satisfied we tried a another tire size. This was true for my front rallies. I wanted to run the 15x8 but the offset was just a tad to shallow for the 245 60R tires. Therefore I went with my 15x7 rallies and they fit much better Yes I brought both rim sizes to DT to test fit. They are the best IMO.
