Wheels and Tires

[Fox Slaughter]

Well I was gonna run a 15x10 rim. I won't be doing this till after I get my Dana 60 so I'm not sure what the width is on that.

What tires should I run up front? I was looking at a 15x6 rim or what ever tires I should run up front.

I will have a set of radials for driving around and a set of MTs for cruising or dragging.

The width of the S60 will depend on what you want you should be able to order it stock length or narrowed. If you stay stock then that rear rim would leave you needing a 7.5" backspace, this is the route you'll want to go to be able to throw stock wheels on it as well. As for fronts I'd run a real set of skinnys from M&H or MT that are properly rated, look into the tires Ryan or Sean have mine are just junk metrics.

Those Street Lite wheels are awesome, I'd definitely hold out for them if you can. They look amazing on every car I've ever seen them on.

Thank you. Does anyone know the offset I will need to tuck the MT ET Streets 15x11.5 under? Or will a 10.5 be sticky enough?

you need to remember that an et street is measured by section width. an 15x11.5 et street doesnt lay even CLOSE to 11.5" on the ground, more like 8". ET drags are measured different. a 10.5 et drag lays 10.5" on the ground.

everyone seems to get confused by this

I don't know shit bout slicks, thanks for the info

no problem. I think the reason they do that is because the et street is still "intended" to be a street tire and its rated the same. the et drag is a different series, even though they look very similar. To put in in perspective, a 28 x 10.5 et drag is the same thing as a 28 x 12.5 et street.

This is right from the ad on summit he posted for the 26x11.5 et street. you can see the section width and the tread width.

Tread width - 9.80 in

my front wheels are irrelevant since i have 17's up front.

however if u do go with big and littles, 15x4 up front with a 26/6/15 woulds great.. i had the mickey thompson sr's up front.. works amazing and for the rears i would go with the et street in a 26/11.5.. however you could get away with the 10.5's too..
