I don't think you can put a smaller than 16" diameter wheel on. I only say this because back before I made the decision to park mine for the winter, I was contemplating steel wheels for mine for the snow, and my tire shop told me I had to have at least 16"s to clear the calipers. So, if he knows what he is talking about I would say 16".

I've been pondering this myself...5-0resto.com has a set of 17"x10.5" bullit style (like my stock 18"s) that I could wrap M/T Drag Radials (275 I think) around...I think that will be a perfect combo for weekend wheels...

use a pair of factory bullitts...they are 17x8, and will hold a 275 40 17 mt e.t. street radial, or e.t. street cheater slick. I am buying a pair off a guy next week for that, and they are the stock bullitts with the m/t cheater slicks.

I have ordered direct from Bogart a set of 15 inch for the rear. Haven't come in yet but should fit well. Wrap'em with MT ET streets.
