Largest tire on a 15 x 4 wheel????

[TR Custom Parts]

Just about giving up with Jegs with regards to getting a decent set of 15 x6 Centerline Rev wheels. I am about ready to go with 15 x 4's since from what I have been told those are in fact one piece rotary forged wheels unlike the 6" wide ones. Have had issues with the welding quality on these wheels.

I could pretty much care less about getting off of exit ramps at 90mph so handling is not a huge concern. I have run a pro street car before with that size wheel and if I remember right I had a 205/75 tire. Was going to run the stock size 215/65 with a 6" wheel but think those would be too wide for a 4" wheel???

I am running a BFG drag radial on the back so would need a radial for the front.

A 205/70R-15 should fit without too much worry.
BFG Traction T/A would be a good match for you.

I have run a 205/70-15 on a 15x5 rim no problems, so I would think it shouldn't be that big of an issue on a 15x4.

Or, if that was too wide / tall, you could go with a 185/65R-15.
BFG makes a Touring tire in this size.

Either one would work.

Or, you could go with a Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R radial 26x6-15.

I'm using a MT Sportsman S/R Radial 26 x 8 x 15 on 15x4 wheels. They match the tread of the MT drag radials nicely but I see you are running the BFGs. A BFG Comp Radial ZR matches the BFG DRs but there's not anything small enough for a 4" wheel. May not be a big deal to you but I'm a little anal about mismatched tread patterns.

IMO, a 205/70 may look a little short/small for a Regal.

205/75 fits and looks great.

Just found my tire:biggrin: Thanx Will. I too like the same tread pattern as the rear.

Well, Jegs says my 15 x 6's are on the way so will see if these two are any good.

Here is a pic. Looks like I will end up running this same tire with the new wheel setup as well. Has worked fine for me the past 10 or so years

so guys a 205 75 tire works ok on a 4" rim?

 

[chasmat2316]
