Hi guys, New to this forum, but not new to the performance world.
I just bought a 1986 GT and had a few basic questions.


Weld draglites, I am going to run a 15x3.5 front and a 15x8 rear.


What tire recommendations and sizes should I buy?


What back spacing as well?


I am looking for a nice performance/street tire.


Thank you and love the site so far!

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your 86.

You could use the search feature and look at the older threads that will tell you exactly what you need to know. My set of Welds are strictly for the track with slicks mounted, so I can't help much with street tires. But my rears have a 4.5 backspacing, but with my setup, 5.5 would be better.
