buying wheels/tires, need advice
Hi guys,
I'm finally ordering front and rear wheels/tires so my car can run 11s and not slip and slide its way to 12s. I drive on the street a ton and see the track about 6-8 times a year.
I'm pretty sure I'm going with Billet Specialties street lites. I want to run 15x4 fronts and 15x10 rears. MT's website says not to run a 275/60/15 drag radial on a rim wider than 9.5. I swear I've seen plenty of guys do it. Who's got experience out there with this combo, and does that rear tire/wheel match do okay? From what I understand, any tire bigger than that requires a alot of BFH time. If not, please give me a heads up.
The car has stock rear axle width with the Currie 9" and stock brakes. I also planned on running Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pros on the front with the 1.625 offset. Any input on that would be great too.
Thanks for the help
