8 inches wide is waaaaaay too narrow for a drag wheel. Unless you're just going for the look. IMO of course. Your car, your choice.

honestly everyone makes slicks for a 15x8 wheel. All different size tires out there that will fit on many different size wheels. I have a set of 15x8 cragar soft 8s on the rear of my 2004 silverado win Mickey Thompson ET streets on them size 275/60/15. They hook well and look fine. Reason why I run 8" wheel is not many companies make a decent price rim over 8" that will still tuck on my truck.

I'll be running 9.5" wide wheels on the rear of our GTO with a 275 width.

so IMO... yes you could probably run an 8" wheel but if there are plenty of decently priced options out there wider... with the offset you need then why buy a smaller rim? I'd run the widest tire and rim combo you can.

100% agree there are tires for it. I was talking about the wheel itself. Of course it's his car so it's his decision but on an M6 I'd go a bit bigger if budget permits.

Absolutely agree. I bought my 9.5" racestars with Mickey Thompson et streets for $250. So there is definitely deals to be had.

Stoplightbandit

Yea you need 120 right? Just keep looking and don't be afraid of craigslist as long as you do your research first.

818goat

I run 15x8s with no issues on my GTO. I'm in a 275/50 tire. I also cut low 1.5 60s too.

Stoplightbandit

I can 60' in the 1.2s on an 8" rim. I see no problem.

Iron Indian

The 8" rim isn't the problem. If anything it's the IRS. I'm working on getting in the 1.4s with an IRS. Not impossible but it will take work.

Wish I had an SRA for 1.2s but I'll work with what I got for now.
