Slicks

Cody2552 · 04-06-2003, 05:33 PM

Umm i am new to using slicks. I was wondering what size tires with what size rims for the front and back. I Will be using a 4 lug pattern and prefer using Weld Draglite rims. Please help. horsepower is under 400

Is it a strip only car or will you be driving on the street much?

I would suggest 15x3.5's up front, and 15x9 in the rear with 26x10.5" slicks

I use a 15 x 4 up front, and a 15 x 8 on the back. A 165r raidial up front, and a 26 x 9 Hossier on mine. I like it. As long as you are close to this size, or the sizes that FiveOhPatrol said, you will be fine. Good Luck and happy 1.5s or better.
