Thats exactly the set up I want, but maybe a 15x6, I cant seem to decide. I know the draglites are played out but I still like them.

Default 315 tires

Here are a few pictures from the front and side views of my '87 GT wearing 315s on 17x10.5" wheels. I will get some pictures of the back when I get the car back, but the fender extensions I had made are not attached to the car yet. This car has a ton of mods, including a Griggs SLA W/C set up front and rear.

15x8 will fit best with 5.5" of Backspacing ona Fox. Most run a 15x 3.5" up front, but there is also a 4" and 5" available too.

BCP, did you go with 6.5 BS on your 10 in wheel. I have 26/11.50/15 Hoosiers now with 15x8 welds now but I think I am going to a 10 in wheel with a 28/10.50/15 DOT slick next year. I am putting in a 408 with AFR 205's custom solid roller cam all forged motor next year so I am going to need as much tire as possible on the ground.

Yes, 6.5" Backspacing on the 10". You may have to do some more clearancing though with the 28" tall tire, depending upon how your car sits.
