I'm interested in this also, i'd like to find out what the proper backspacing is needed for a 15x10 wheel on our cars.

Are you looking for something for competition or are you just looking for something to use for occassional test and tune visits?

I don't see the point of slicks unless you are seriously going to race. If you are just looking for something that will hook to have fun, get the M&H 17 inch drag radials. They make a 275/50/17 or a 325/45/17.

A bonus is you can drive these on the street, i wouldn't try that with a slick.

Sorry, but I don't know what 15 inch rims will work. As far as I know you need them custom made.

You'll probably need a new transmission/clutch and rear end on a regular basis if you are going to launch that beast with slicks. Please tell me that's not your daily driver.
