MT ET street radial question Hey all,
Despite a lot of researching, I am still dumbfounded about what size MT drag radial to run and which size wheel. I have a 99' Z28 with the Eibach pro kit.
I was looking at the American Racing black steel wheels ($40/pc).....what size??? 15x8? 15x10? 16x8? 16x10?
And, I wanna run the MT ET street radials. Which size can I fit? 28x10.50? 28x11.5? 27x10.5? 27x11.5?
Thanks for any help. It is much appreciated. I want to go to the track but need to know what sizes first to purchase them.

Andy,
Do a search, or just read the forum back a month for the topic that may apply. I do not believe those cheap steel wheels will have enough backspacing. Not too many 15" rims will fit without grinding calipers, or running spacers. Bogarts, are the only one that I am aware of that are a direct fit in 15". If you want ET street radials the 255/50/16 is the only size in 16" ( or maybe go to 26" hoosier QTP's or std ET Street's) on a stock 16" rim that could be picked up pretty cheap.
