Default Want to switch Draglites (Need rim size info/tire info)

I have 15x5 or 15x6 (not sure which size, purchased on ebay) and I want to switch to some skinnies up front. I want to 15x3 or 15x3.5.

I have 4 lug draglites right now and want to sell my current (front only) set with the tires and get the 15x3.5s. Anyway can somebody give me the proper backspacking information etc so I purchase the right set of wheels. Is 15x3.5 the common size for skinnies up front? My 5.0 is my daily driver/track car and I do have an 06 Mustang as well which is a garage queen.

Anyways I want the front to sit lower than the rear so some tire sizes would help too. I have Ford Motorsport "C" Springs with 275/50 M/T drag radials out back. I'm swapping to Eibach drag (front springs only) springs shortly.

Thanks for the help!

-Jeff

The front you want the 15x3.5 w/ a 1.75 backspacing. Tires, 165/15's.

Thanks Pro!

What is the aspect ratio on the 165/15's?

What is the height percentage? Percentage of the tires width, the number followed by 165/"?"/15

Also where to purchase!

There is no middle #. Mine sat 165/15 right on the side wall. As for the rest, you'll have to investigate that. Some of the local performance parts stores should be able to get them for you.

Perfect, that's what I thought, so they'll be exactly what I want.

How about where to purchase the Draglites? This is becoming non tech related but I can't find them in 4 lug!
