Default slick and rim question

im looking for a tire and rim setup for the strip. i was going to buy bogarts but i didnt know there not for street use. so now im going to buy some of the 16 inch regular camaro or firebird rims for cheaper. what i realy need to know is what tire size to get for slicks. or what size fits best on those types of rimes. And will i need to do any bumber shaveing or anything. thanks Troy

i depends on how wide and how much you are willing to modify the rear wheel well. im going with 15x10 on the rear(7.5 bs) and 15x3.5 on fronts prostars

if you got the cash, get the bogarts. They look awesome and no grinding for HOURS like my prostars...hell i am afraid the brake calipers on the front may snap one day.
