Default 15" & 16" wheels.. Post up, gents

The question arose (again) in a thread earlier today regarding RWL tires and it prompted me to poke around for pics that I KNEW I had seen of folks with some serious sidewall (with or without RWL or OWL tires) on their Stangs. Either the holiday drink has made me retarded (and some will say I'm retarded under any circumstances) but I can't find what I'm looking for. SO, let's see some 60 series or thereabouts.

Here's a couple more that I saved in the past when considering some track wheels.

I have the 15" Jegs Sport Stars for the track, skinnies up front with M&H cheater 26-10.5x15 on the back




Those back tires though are only good at the track, can't drive on them to the track even.

Stay tuned fellas. The pic above is my track combo (Race Star 15x8" rears with 275/60/15 M/T ET Drag Radials and 15x3.75" fronts with 26x6x15 M/T Sportsman S/Rs). I'm still sorting out the kinks for my street rears, but they will likely be Race Star 15x10s with 28x12x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/Rs to match the front skinnies. The fronts will remain the same for street and strip. Will post pics when the project is complete. Still making sure it will work, lol. For those keeping track, my street rears will actually be much larger than my track rears.
