16" wheels on back How hard is it to install 16" wheels on the back of my car for mounting slicks?
What 16" wheel do most of you guys run. I was thinking of just getting some camaro wheels ot maybe ta wheels.

those stock camaro wheels will work, I've got some 16" speedlines, but did you think about getting 17x11 zr1 wheels? I'm not sure who has good slicks for 17's but I think hoosier has something...

Trust me man, much better. The 17's are great, to a point. The thing is, the 17's don't have a whole lot of sidewall in comparison to a 16 inch wheel/tire combo.
I have been using the CCW drag package which has 16" wheels in the the rear. Currently I'm running MT ET Streets 26x11.50x16, I just ordered a pair of Hoosier Quick Time Pro 28x11.50x16. The only thing you need to do to run the CCW's is dent the upper ball joint caps with a hammer so the wheels won't rub.

Well i tried to put my 16" 94 firebird wheels on and they rubbed the caliper to the car wouldnt even move. So i guess i am going to get 17's with drag radials or grind the calipers so my 16's will fit.

Well I put a new set of 17" ET drag radials on it and while it felt good it still didnt 60' as good as my Nitto's did. My best was a 1.79, but the track is brand spanking new so it may need some seasoning.
Anything over 1500 rpm and the car would spin. Even putting in a John Force burn out.
