Default slicks and skinnies

Alright everyone, not really a been at all, but anyway.....im sure it has been discussed over and over, but I just want a rock solid answer. I am about to buy slicks and skinnies as a christmas present to myself. I definately want the weld prostars but I need a couple tidbits of information. This is going to be a track only car and im looking at a setup to best suit that. Ive got a stock height ls1 camaro, with a moser 9" stock width. I need to know what kind of spacers, offset, basically everything I need to order to build the most drag only setup I can get wthin stock width rear and still look good. Opinions?

I believe you can buy a measuring tool from most places thats bolts to the rear,it will help you with rim width and back spacing.

Why thank you buddy. I expected this remark from someone. I have searched, and there are5648385758 threads in this topic. I just thought I might get some rational opinions from someone quickly, other than reading thru pages and pages of idiots posting about something they do not know.

15X10 7.5 backspace with 5X4.75 bolt pattern. 275/60/15 Radial or slick of your choice
15X3.5 2.25 backspace (I think) same bolt pattern as above Mickey Thompson 26X7.5X15

Grind the rear calipers, Very small spacer for the front.

The 15x3.5's will need a 1.75" backspacing not a 2.25"...but everything else looks to be spot on.
OP if your wanting a 15x8 you will need a 5.5" backspacing for the rears, and be prepared to grind the **** out of your calipers or run spacers.
