I got all my stuff from summit.
I think a good setup for you would be the 15x8 draglights, with 4.5 inch backspacing.
As far as the ET Streets, a 26/10.5/15 works good

so your positive both of those would be a perfect match? i like your setup they look really nice aqnd obviously work...The only reason im getting streets is because on friday saturday nights im gonna want them for the runs around here....or should i just get slicks and change them when i go to the track?

If you actually want a tire for racing on the street, I would look into some Nitto or BFG drag radials. My ET Streets can go up in smoke just like any other tire when not at the track. ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)

Any drag radial or slic will or would untill heated. If you are looking into drag radials and you plan on leaving them on all the time then get the nittos but if you are buying a seprate set of rims are going for straight track use go with some bfg's.

You DO NOT want the 4.5 backspacing rims, you want the 5.5 backspacing.

I curbed the other rim and bought some 15X10s this time

Will that fit the Fox body good? Will you have to bend the lip on the fenders? I want to get some Drag Lites with some slicks in the future so it would be nice to know what size i can run. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I'm sure a 10.5 inch slick will work on a fox...possibly a 11.5??? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

I only parked in the street near thesenior lot when there was free parking, now I am assigned to the Elks. I will know when you get it back because I hear it leave every time during 6th period. Gotta love the sound of an o/r x-pipe with flows.
