wheel and tire combo?
my son has a 94 mustang 6 cylinder. It has the 3 spoke design wheels.
he wants to put weld draglites on it. The car has 5 lug pattern. We already have the wheels and im not sure what size rear tire is needed to give it a good look. They are 8 inch rear wheels with 5.5 backspacing. I know 17's would be nice but we need to use what we already have. thanks, tony |

Are they 15" drag lites? 8" wheels on the front as well?
275/50/15 comes out to a hair under 26" tall and almost 11" wide. That is a common size for the rear on 15x8 welds

Make sure the fronts are the right bakspace.I would go with a 275 50 15 for the rear.

I would actually do a 275/60 on a SN-95 Car.
It fills the wheel well up and you can still lower the car way down with it on there

Not sure but a guy on here [89five0gt] bought some at ffw and would not clear his sn95 calipers,so we tried 1/4 in spacers and that made them stick out past the fender.These were weld pro stars.

not sure about the front back spacing. they came off anthony new's 10.5 outlaw mustang. the rear back spacing is 4.5 i believe.
whats the easyest way to lower the car if it sits too high. he wont be racing, he just wants it to look better. its a 6 banger |
