I have a set of 15" x 15" rims. Plenty of room to run 33"x16"s.
Question is, How wide is wide enough? Should I run 14's, 14.5's, 15's? I see people hooking with 10.5's with much more power. I would like to save money and use the rims I have, but how much is overboard?
Is height any more a question than roll out and gear ratio?
I assume D-5 compound or equivelent.
Thanks again. Should have track pics within a month. Long time comin!

14x32's would work, but you mentioned that you wanted to run 15x15 rims. So your probably going to have to run a 16x33. Your tire needs to be an inch wider than your rim width.
