15" rims wanted also 15" drag radials or slicks. Either or both. A lot of mustang 2004 and older mustang offsets work with my car. 5x4.5 bolt pattern and 5.5 - 6.0 backspacing. For tires I'm looking for a 275w or 10"-10.5" , around 27" diameter.

I think I still have a set of Hoosier 27x10 (maybe 10.5)

guy had four of them on his corvette for road ralley whatever it is... These where the fronts, I can get pictures if needed. Otherwise I have a few sets of 8" slicks laying around too, minimal usage.

I'm not sure if the road racing slicks are good for drag maybe someone else can chime in. grab a part number or model number off the tires if you get a chance

Ryan if you are making a decent amoun of power and with the car being light you should really consider a skinny front runner tire as well. When you get in the 120+ range it starts to get a little iffy up top with a wide radial tire in front and a mushy bias ply out back. I know people have done it, but it's a bad idea especially at the speeds you might get to. You could also just run a rear drag radial, but it's a little harder on the rear.

never run radial front bias ply rear its just stupid and asking for an accident. road racing slicks don't hook very weel either lol but they are pretty fun.

so, for y future reference, are the 3035s a "road racing" slick or...? I don't know crap about slicks, I bought a "lot" of slicks and these where in it...

theres a BIG difference between a drag slick and a road racing slick...

From what I looked up , it is a Late Model Asphalt tire.

It would be nice to have two nice bias tires in the back and skinnies up front but I didn't really want to buy 4 rims and tires right now. Hoping i could just buy two rear tires and rims. Also I'd like to just drive the tires around on the street too. I only put a couple thousand miles on the car a year at the most. Not sure how many miles can be put on a dot bias.
