Getting muh car sprayed quasar blue too
You know how hard it is to find nice wheels, with the correct backspacing for a car without a narrowed rear end? It was either wait months on a set of V series from Weld, or buy the RTS rears with Alumastar 2.0 fronts. Id rather have the V Series..... but Summit had these in stock.

Few years ago if you got to MIR early, like half hour before gates opened, you could get 5-10 runs in before it got packed. Sundays before church got out before 12 were the best. But now all the car clubs do their MOPAR meet, mustang meet, import, bike, etc like we used to do the fall LTx shoot out on T&T days and it gets packed. If we did a meet at MIR we would want to call Jason and ask if any days are open at T&T with no car clubs scheduled.

Will your rear tires fit those wheels?

Yea but I'm not gonna bother swapping them since they are almost bald. Just going to sell all 4 of the current wheel and tires and use that to go towards a fresh set of rears. Probably another pair of ET streets.

How about the Pro radial... They have been working really well - better than the et street radial. I may try those, or the Pro bracket radial (non DOT) when my Hoosiers are done.

.What height ET streets did you run on the back, the 275/50 or 275/60? I know some old school guys run the 295s on the 8" rim and MT says the 295/55 is good for 8-10.5" rims, but 295 seems wide for an 8" rim to me...
My setup would probably prefer the shorter tire, but the wider patch may be worth it when using the trans brake??? I know the real answer is to try them both, but spending an extra ~500 on a pair of tires just to test isn't high on my list of things I want to do

I ran the 275-60 et street on those wheels. Still on a 275 just with a 15x10. 295 will be to much tire, and will bulge bad on the 8 inch wheel.

Not that I'd need more then a 275 anyway, the 295 just looks letter lol.
