Default SLICK SIZES

Has anyone bought slicks yet for an '05/'06? I have and opportunity to buy a set of 5 lug, 15x10 draglites with a 4.5 backspace and MT slicks. I'm curious if these will fit...
There off a '90 Camaro.

Thanks
Mauiboy

Be careful with 15Xanything. You might run in to brake issues. I know of people that have put 15" Bogarts on and had to do some modifications

Hey Carl, amazing where you run into people these days. 15's won't fit without brake mods. I did hear about someone taking his existing 15's (he already had wheels and slicks from another car) and having the inner wheel machined down so that they would fit over ther calipers. It was cheaper for him to do that than going out and buying a new setup on 16's. Talk to Shawn or hook up with him at Discount Tires on Craig and Simmons if you want to go with the 16's. I'm running 16x8's, 25mm offset, 5in backspace and MT ET Streets which is a DOT slick. I gave mine a good break-in for the first time last night and they work frickin great. Took Shawn and Mongo on a little demo also last night to show them how the slicks and line loc helped.
So how did you like Street Wars?
