for those of you running slicks or drag radials - what wheel/tire size fits best and is most common? i would prefer to get drag radials since you cant fit slicks in our cars like the fox bodies.

You can fit slicks with no modifications as long as you use 17" slicks. I like the 275/50-15 M&H Drag Radials personally.

I use the Mickey Thompson Et Streets (biassply) non drag-radial
26" x 11.5" on a 17" rim
They hook up great at 13-14 PSI

Absolutely BS you can't use slicks.

I have MT ET Drag slicks on my car right now... 28x10.5-15 on 15" bogart welded RT's. The ONLY mod I had to do was a simple BMR Rear Swaybar relocation bracket that took all of about 10 minutes to install.

The standard for most guys with DR's is the MT ET Streets 26x11.5-17. They fit with 0 modification. Most of us running true slicks are running a 28" tire cause that's as big as we can go. The MT Drags can fit a 10.5 but hoosiers need to be a 9.5 cause they balloon more than the MT's.

Without serious rear upgrades, it would be foolish to run true slicks IMO.

Hope this helps.

whats the backspacing on those RT's I have a set of rears from an 03 cobra, they dont clear the brakes. i have a nice set of spacers that fix that but the studs are too short.
