Re: 27x10x15 slicks on a 15x8 wheel?

i ran a set of 28x10.5 on a 15x8 wheel for a brief time till i got the right wheels


there were a ***** to put on the rims but they worked , u do have to watch air pressure though or else u will be riding on the center 6/7 inches or so of the slick


my advice would be get a 10inch wide wheel or get a 9 inch slick

my old hoosier 26x9 or 28x9's (cant remeber exactly) fit great on the 15x8
