Ok Guys, I got some questions on what size of rims and tires to get for my M6
WS6. Im making 403RWHP and 365RWTQ with Moser 9in w/4.10 and a Textriali clutch, 6800 redline. I want to take it to the 1/4 mile track and want to know what size of tire to get in the rear, and also what backspacing. Will it be better to go with the 15x8 or 15x10 rear, or 15x3.5 or 15x4.5 infront??? 27 or 28 tall tires?? Im thinking of doing MT DR's...Thanks

i put 15X10 with MT DR 325/50 15's its awsome! i love it never going back to street tires. dont have any traction issue. for the fronts if its not daily driver then 15X3.5

theres some work involved get them to fit, but worth it. mostly BFH and caliper grinding.
