What Slicks will fit?

[patmckinneyracing]

I plan on setting up a set of dedicated wheels for the track and am in need of recommendations. What I need to know is what size wheel, backspacing of the wheel, and size slick will fit on my car. I plan on just pulling a set of steel wheels out of the junkyard, but backspacing has me concerned about frame clearance. Any help is appreciated.

If you have a set of slicks your willing to sell let me know.

for the power youre making, 26x8.5 will be plenty. no way youll have fitment issues with them either

I looked on summit and the smallest they offer is a 26x10-15. Gonna check fleabay and see whats kickin.

Set of 15x8 rally's with standard backspacing (I beleive 4") and a set of 28/9-15 fit really nice on my car. I had probably 1-1.5" between the tire and the frame at ride height.

For what it's worth, this weekend I hooked better with my Nitto drag radials than the slicks set at 14psi. My best 60' was 1.68 with the Nitto 555's set at 20psi

I run 26-10.5-15 on a old set of chevy 15by8 with 4bs with no problems.
