Default Wheels and Tires

Hey everyone!
Im looking to get a pretty aggressive wheel/tire setup that resembles the pictures below but am having a hard time figuring out what the dimensions are and haven’t gotten a response from the owner.
Is it feasible for s2k’s to run 16x9 +15?
What tired should I be looking at for beefy bois/street use?

Sorry, didn’t work before. Here’s the wheel/tire setup.

Is this for drag racing? That’s the only purpose to run something like that. It’s going to rub like crazy driving on the street like that. It’s definitely not feasible on a stock body if you ever want to lower the car at all.

Thanks for the reply! I don’t want it for drag and I have pulled fenders with super stiff suspension and plan to keep it that way. I don’t care about slamming it or anything, just looking for a really beefy and aggressive setup. I plan to turbo it and push around 400-425 hp.

By beefy you mean a tall sidewall? Pulled fenders still do not "fit" a 9 inch wide +15 wheel. Also I didn't say slamming the car I said lowering it at all. Even at stock ride height there can still be rubbing issues. The pictured setup is something I would expect on a drag car but not one you'd run on the street (Maybe to and from the drag strip?). I don't get it but its your car do whatever you want.

Okay thanks man. I’m just new to the car scene, trying to figure it out as I go. And yes, I would like a tall sidewall for a more aggressive look. If you have any recommendations for that and would fit an s2k, it would be greatly appreciated. It’s for daily driving but I am okay with a little rubbing.

Since getting those specs have you looked up what tires are available in that size? The only thing that comes up is a couple drag slicks which should not be run on a street car (not to mention you will burn through tires extremely fast). You also know that the pictured car is only running that in the rear not the front right? If you want a taller sidewall you should try and find some 16's that actually fit the car somewhat since they will have a taller sidewall over 17's or 18's. 17's and 18's will offer wider tire options actually provides more grip but like I said it is your car. I would suggest doing some more research before you end up spending money on something that won't work and you'll be stuck with because no one else will want it.
