I run a stock length 9", and Bogarts on my Formula.

28x11.5x15 ET Streets fit, KP has run them.

If you want to go more tire, go 28x12.5 ET Street.

If you want to have the best track only tire that would be a 28x10.5 ET Drag stiff sidewall.

if you want to take the time to figure out the 325's dr's get those.

what a PITA, I figured this would be easy

This is the tire I run:

There are no S et street's that I know of, the 28x11.5 will work fine if you have to run on the street.

The fronts you need are these, I know they say they are 7.5 wide, but they really aren't.

great, thanks JL!

So even though they say 7.5" wide, I can still throw them on 3.5" Bogarts, correct?

If you notice the front tire says 26x7.5

But it is only 6.3" wide and the actual tread is listed at 4.8", it's not wide at all and is perfect for a 15x4 which is what I run also.

Thanks for the help guys. I picked up my tires at Summit on Saturday.

26x7.5" MT Sportsmans
28x10.5" MT ET Streets

I hope to order my Bogart D10's this week. Can you guys confirm my backspacing?

All 15" rims
Rears, 10 wide with 7.5" backspacing
Fronts, 3.5 wide with 1.25" backspacing (<--not sure if this is correct)

I believe Bogarts should fit with no grinding or anything.

Check on those 28x10.5 ET Streets, are those reccomended for 15x8's? I would run 28x11.5 or 12.5 ET Streets on 15x10's. Might want to double-check to make sure those tires are not like 9 inches wide.

my bad, they are 28x11.5
"Suggested rim size of 8.00-10.00"

So how does the backspacing look?
