I currently have rims that are 16x8.5 with 5 in bs....

What bs should I get with 15x8.5 Note: Needs to clear ebrake lines.

How big of tire will fit on this rim?

I was thinking MT ET Drag Slick 26x10.5

Can I get any bigger on without problems?

Will you give me the part # if possible? (Mickey Thompson ET Drag Slick)

 

I'm thinking a 10.5 will be to wide. Check out this post: https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=287605

 

Are you getting Convo Pros? That's the main 15" Drag wheels I know in 8.5" wide.

Anyway, I'd go with 4.5" to 5" BS if they offer something in that range. You should be able to run a 26x10.5 ET Drag or a 26x11.5 ET Street.

 

dude, people put 10.5 drag tires on 8" rims ALL DAY LONG! that flexible sidwall is what makes it possible. with a stiff sidewall tire like you'd find on a 10" wide 18" rim tire, i would say you better have some 18x10's on it.

 

i'm running 28x10.50 hoosier slicks on my camaro with no problems whatsoever. just a little pounding. 15x8 rims with 4.5BS check my cardomain site for pics.

 

I went ahead and got the 10.5 in wide rims with 11.5 in wide slick... They ended up fitting up just right.

 

what backspacing did you go with and do you have any pics?

 

I used 5.5 in backspacing .... sorry no pics yet... I will try to get some tho... pm me

 

Which wheels and slicks did you use?

Thanks,

does it tuck pretty nice? what kinda "massaging" had to be done to the inner fender?

 

The outside edge of the tires are parallel to the top edge of the fender.....

They look like they stick out from a back view because of the shape of the back of the car.

Just to be safe we took out the bumper stops and grinded a little bit on the edges of those mounts. When we were finished we noticed we had about 1/2 in clearance on both sides (from the bumper stop to the side of the slick)
