Cheap traction


I want some cheap traction since the traction I have with my all season street tires isn't great...I got a deal for some 10 hole wheels for 50$ fuckin bucks. How big of a tire should I slap on?? It's a 15 inch tire as well, so I'm guessing I need to put a 27 inch tall one to offset the height difference. All help is appreciated.

Bro, it's a 10 hole wheel, and untuned my car probably nets 290RWHP lol. I just need traction, and I have some spots over here that people go wheels up, so I need compound is all. Not width

I havn't had the chance to take good picture out in the open. I plan on getting good shots of the car once its back on the road since I don't have good picture yet of the new hood ether.
