What slicks / size should I use
I have no clue about what size slick and front tires to use on my mustang for the 1/4 mile. I have a 302 with about 350 HP and plan on running a TCI C-6 streetfighter tranny (no transbrake) and maybe 3:73 or 4:10 gears.
Maybe I should just use stock and see if I can launch them off the rims to the guys in the tower!! |

26X10.5-15 ETstreet
275-50-15 ETstreet radial 26x10 ET drag If you cant hook with those, I don't know what to tell ya. anything taller that a 4.10 and you'll prolly want a 28" tall tire.

Do you need to use rim screws with the slicks?

Prolly not. I run em no screws, no tubes. Below 1.4 60' ya prolly might wanna add em, but for most of us we'll be fine w/o em.

I've run Hoosire Quick Time Pros, ET Streets, and ET Drags without tubes. I have ET Drags on the same rims for 1 yr. now and the have only lost about 5 psi.

That depends on alot of things, mainly what tires you can get but with stock brakes i'd stick with somthing around 26" on the front.

Rim Back Spacing
Ok so I am going with the ET Drags 26x10-15 so now I am faced with the question about the backspacing on the wheel? Anyone know what this would be for a 95 mustang?
