Default Track rims

Can someone tell me what size rims would fit on my car for the track. I'm looking at 15's. Summit has some for pretty cheap as opposed to crager or welds, I just don't know the correct backspacing, offset, and bolt circle for my 03 gt. also a tire size and brand would be greatly appreciated.

I used 15" V6 wheels. Tires were 235/60/15 MT ET Streets. Combo works great

back spacing depends on the rim width your going with, 10" = 6.5" or 8" =5.5"
bolt circle is 5 lugs at 4.5"
this is for a stock rear end.

i have these http://store.summitracing.com/partde...66PS25&FROM=MG

with mt et drag and tubes

stock v6 rims would be the cheapest way to go like the above poster said, but your limited to tire sizes that would fit.

+1 combo does work well. you could also use them for drifting too, if you do that.. just swap out the tires

I was wondering what the widest 15" wheel you can put in the front without rubbing. I wanna do some drag wheels all around but wanna make it streetable so I dont want sninnies up front.

Even the 3" up front your gonna have to run a spacer and possibly grind off some caliper, tho Weld apparently has a Star rim that you don't have to do that anymore

Why...doesnt make sense...if your going to drag race you would want skinnies, apparently you just want the look of drag wheels. If so, use a 17'' drag wheel.
