Re: Tire Question
Not sure on whether it will fit the wheel well but with that 10" wheel you won't be able to take advantage of the 15.5 width. While the tire will mount on the 10" wheel a 12" will make a huge difference in getting all that whoop ass to the ground

Re: Tire Question
Lots of information can go into tire size. Engine (size, compression, heads, cam, intake, carb) transmission (stall?), gearing, etc if you want to get some power to the ground. There are lots of 10-12 second cars out there on 10" tires. If it's just to get a fatty tire look some of those may not matter so much. Sorry, but all this doesn't answer your original fitment question.

Re: Tire Question
29x12 will ride the best and you won't have to wind the motor up hard to cruise
