Re: Need help sizing the right rim and tire combo for the strip 15x8 with a 5.5" backspacing for the rear...
As far as tires, maybe a 26x9 something or another. Not sure if Hoiser makes the QTP or a full slick in that size. With the 3.73's, you shouldnt need a 28" tire.

Need help sizing the right rim and tire combo for the strip I'm planning on getting a set of 15" Centerline Racing Warrior rims. Skinnies up front and good sized ones in the back. I can put 400HP to the ground now and that will probably remain that way for a while. I'm also switching to a 12 bolt with a 3.73 (lots of highway driving for me).
Anyway, what would be a good width and offset for the rim and what size tire is a pretty good combo? I'm probably leaning more towards a Hoosier but an ET Street would work as well. I don't want to go higher than a 10" tread width though because of the races I attend have that limit set. Not that I think I'll need to go larger, just thought I should throw that out there.
