I'm looking to throw a half inch spacer on each side and give them a shot... the car is a street car and would like to have it rub as seldom as possible, but with a car making alot of traction I would like it to have as much meat on them as possible...

who has run the 235/60/15 ET streets?

how did you like them/ how did they hook?

how bad did they rub?

how long did they last for?

thanks in advance
Andrew.

Thats a huge tire for our cars....you would need coil overs to even have a chance of fitting.

well I picked up a set of 24.5 by 8.5 by 15 inch mickey thompson et drags tonight for dirt cheap

Better find some coilovers to go with them...

sounds good, I'm going to space them out about a 1/2 an inch and see if they clear, if not Coil overs here I come.

Ebay sells some cheap coilovers that work great on the colt...

under what car? can you post a link

please do
Andrew

We run a 26" M&H bias ply drag radial on the street without problem, just needs some spacers. The car does have coilovers, but it wasn't because the tires were too tall.

m how wide were the tires, and what size were the spacers!!!

I'm trying to get john (crusherbait) to post his set-up his is tits and i can't believe how well it looks and works with no spacer....I hate using spacers the slicks stick out past the wheel well just looks dumb to me...I'm sure he will post up soon and share some of his info he has, took him some doing but he got it right...

what size tire is he running? If I can get away without running spacers that would be great I would much rather have my tires setup inside the wheel well...

I started off with some GC coilovers w/ 300lbs springs & the Koni sports. Later I added some Weld Draglites 15*8 rims with 4.5” backspacing and M&H 24.5"*8.5". The tires stuck out about a 1.5” I ran that set-up once at the track and found that the tires were hitting the bolt heads that hold up the plastic fender well while making turns. The damage was minor, but still pissed me off a bit.

My new set-up consists of two Centerline one-piece rims that are 15”*7” with 5.671” backspacing, Hoosier Drag Radial 225/50/15’s and some Hypercoils 500lbs front 450lbs rear.It doesn’t look like summit has any more wheels like the ones I bought on clearance for $150ea.

please do, and if at all possible what do you guys recommend for spring rates for drag use?
