Drag wheel sizing??

[chadder1313]

What's the best drag wheel setup y'all recommend? I plan on going with a 15x8 but not to sure what backspacing and offset to go with. I really don't want to dump alot of money on a set of wheels. I really just wanna get a cheap set of wheels to use while at the track only. I mean I love the look of the Weld RTS's but I just don't think the wife will allow that. So what do you guys suggest?

for 15x8 the best size is 275/60/15

Is that a 26' tire? I'm really leaning towards the Summit Racestar knockoffs for now. What backspacing is recommended?

 

[chadder1313]

And also what are the lug nut sizes?

That's a 28" tire

Yeah I was leaning toward a 275 50 15 et street. Anybody have experience with the summit wheels?

 

[Blazer707@TBR]

No everyone uses racestars, welds or bogarts around here.

 

[chadder1313]

I know man. I guess I'll bite the bullet and buy racestars.

The Summit wheels may require a spacer or grinding of caliper. That's why people don't use them too much with 2011+ Mustangs and go with Race Stars. You can't beat the deal Beefcake is running with the new Race Stars. The back spacing is off, so you need a spacer, but for 350 a pair shipped. You can't beat it. I'm considering calling this week to grab some too. I'm just debating whether or not I want to run spacers

I actually am buying the 15x10 racestars in the classifieds. All that is needed is the SBR correct?
