Wheels and Tires drag set up
I need some help guys. I was going to run Prostars 15X3.5 in the front. What back spacing do I need? I was going to run a 15X8 in the rear. What back spacing do I need. Will it be the same for a convertible? What front tire are you guys running? Just the simple 165R15? What rear tire do you think I should run? I have 4.30 gears and I need a 28 tall. I was hoping to run a full slick but I drive the car every once and a while on the street. Will it last or will it ruin the tire? I don't know if my car will hook up on a drag radial being a 6 speed. Any imput would help.

It's a moser 9". Do you think I can fit that 10" wheel under a convertible. I really haven't heard of many people doing that. Thanks for the help. Any more info would help greatly.
Is there any 6 speeds running high 10's or low 11's on drag radials? if so what did you have to do? Thanks
