draglites


I'm planning on buying new draglites for my car and going with 15x9 and heard to go with 6" backspacing. Problem is I'm having a hard time finding 6 backspacing. I've found 5.5 will this clear everything. And i was planning on running just a 235/60/15 or should i go with 275/50/15. On the front something like 15x7 what backspacing should i get for it?

I want 15x9's out back i think 15x10s may be a little too much. I've heard they are hard to get to fit. I can't find 15x9 with a 6" backspace.

I think mine are 15x9 but they might be 15x8. They have a 7" backspacing with Micky Thomson ET Street slicks 26x10.5x15 and they fit GREAT and really hook up too!

that is stock suspension, hell im afraid to know how old the shocks are haha, i have some lakewood traction action bars layin here in my office at work and once i order the upper control arms ill put those on which(if i am correct)should lower the rear a 1" or so

a local guy has some 90/10 lakewood frontend and his sits way high and im not sure why but it needs some lowering to sit right, maybe someone has some input
