Wheels and Tires


I need some traction. what size wheels and tires can I go with on my 95? I have 18" cobra wheels right now but need to buy some 15's or 16's what ever fits the best so I can get some good DR's on back...wasnt sure if 15's will clear the disc brakes or not...want like a 3-4" on front and can you guys give me some ideas of how big I can go on back and what would get the best traction..........thanks

My buddy has 15 in. dragstars and he had to grind down the caliper brackets up front to get em to fit for some reason. A narrow spacer would've worked too though.

yeah I have 18" cobra wheels now but I want to run a 15 or 16 so I can get more sidewall. I guess I am going to have to use a nitto d/r or maybe a bfg cause I cant find Mickeys here nobody sells them or is a dealer for them
