Re: Post Wheel and Tire Setup
15x15 - 5" bs, 33x10.5W
- either going to less bs with the dbl bead locks or a wider rear when I swap it out. They need to be about 1.5 further out.
the car is about 1" lower in the front now, working on a front gfx.

Re: Post Wheel and Tire Setup
I see no problem with the tires. Without the tires mounted on wheels, the bead width is quite close to 7" which is why I thought to use the stockers. Haven't gotten the motor setup quite right yet, but while the race motor was broke, the turbo on the 305 made for a wheelie on a semi-slick track.

Re: Post Wheel and Tire Setup
i just got my 28x10.5W slicks. im having second thoughts now. Id like to go with a drag radial. Ive been looking at the 275/60/15 M/T or the 325/50/15. I want to run the 325 but i have a 15x10 with 6"backspacing so im not sure if they will stick past the fenders

Imagine this, but with the tire 1/2" farther out since this is a 325 with 15x10 6.5" BS.

Never put the 325's on stockers, and I'm sure that wouldn't pan out too well.

the 6" back spacing wheels are hard to find. American racing pro series are hard to find. they no longer offer them. I was going to buy a spare set but cant find them.
