I like the way that looks. What pressure do you run in the tires on street and strip?

I put about 32 psi in them just to take it around the block and snap some pics. I will rarely roll around like this on the street. I will likely start at about 16psi and play with it from there when I head to the track.

I'm having a wide body done to my T/A vert and will be getting these in a 17x18 wheel with a 7.7 back spacing. The only place that make a damn street radial for them is Hoosiers. I'll be the only person running the 17s at the max width, lol... However, I am give some thought about doing a 15x18 since there are more tire options for that size wheel.

Yeah I like the deep dish look

i hate these in 15's biggest misstake i made was not going with 17s so i sold them. 17s in these are the way to go unless, you have a narrowed rear they look good then IMO.

I wish that the people that took the time to post their photos would have taken the time to list the following:

Rim Sizes Front and Rear (Including Back Spacing)
Tires Sizes Front and Rear
Rim and Tire Make and Model
Axle Width (Stock or Narrowed)
Ride Height (Stock or Lowered (How, Which Components and other mods such as fender Rolling and BFH)

Joe

It would really be beneficial to those that are doing searches for instance when trying to set up their cars. I am having a heck of a time trying to find some front tires to run on my car without rubbing the inner fender wells. It "seems" like the best fit might be 26 x 4.5-15 but I dont know for sure because everyone seems to talk about their rear wheels, lol!

I agree.. They do look a lot better on a narrowed rear.

Mine is narrowed 2.5 per side with 15x10 weld rt-s and a 5.5 backspace..
