Need some rubber for my H/C car.. I am getting heads and cam installed soon and a Moser 12 bolt, and was wondering what was the best tire to go with.
I have Eibach Sportlines which narrows the choice down quite a bit. Can I go bigger than a 26" tire? For longevity and performance... is Hoosier a better choice than ET streets/ET drags?
What is an economical rim from Weld or someone else? What size do you guys reccomend? I was looking at the 15 and 16's.
What do you reccomend for up front. I want some skinnies, and I here a lot about the CCW's.... I guess a lot of Corvette guys run them up front. Where can I find them? Or do you recommend going with something else?
Sorry about the length and all the questions... I have never ran tires and rims like this before. Been trying to read, but got a lot of catching up to do!!

Re: Need some rubber for my H/C car.. 15's on an ls1 can be a bitch. Lots of grinding on the caliper. I would go with a 16x8-10 wheel, and either Hoosier QTP's or MT ET streets. 26X10.5X16 ET Streets should hook well for you. Not sure on QTP sizes though.

Re: Need some rubber for my H/C car.. I thought that the 15's would have less grinding on the caliper?
What would be needed (jerry rigging) for the 26x10.5x16.
Also what rims?

Re: Need some rubber for my H/C car.. It may be easier if you get a set of hals out back to make room for the slicks. That opens up your options a whole lot more.
