I will take off the quad shocks if needed. 87 coupe. 10 hole rims, 15x7, I don't want to go with 28, 26s should be fine, how wide do I get? Or should I go with BFG Comp DRs?

Everywhere I check the smallest ET Street is 26x 10.5- 15
I don't see a ET Street 8.5 wide, only a ET Drag...

the 26x10.5 ET street is 8.5" wide

I ran them on 10-holes for a while (15x7 rim) no big deal at all.

I did (remove 'em), but a lot of people reverse the quad shock (flip it upside down) to gain a little bit of clearance for the tire around corners...
