yeah, thats why I wrote I would need 5 sets of them. And yes, once I get this new setup the car will see some track and only come out during the summer and nice days.

Only 8 in. In the rear for a drag car? I Woould go at the very least 9-10" Width in the rear. But I like the rims . Just my opinion

Well, I definately wouldnt say it is a "drag car". More of a couple times a year track seeing car and mostly weekend warrior. Once you get into 10" don't you have to start worrying about grinding calipers and such? Every person I have talked to says that the 8" you will have no problem...

8" rim is fine. Other than $100 for some lug nuts looks like everything you'll need. I run a set of 165 kuhmo's on my draglite skinnies so I'd go w/ those on the front.

I believe you...I just wasn't sure if you meant you were selling an old set of track wheels or if you meant your saleens.

you need a spacer on the front, 1" if you have Cobra brakes. i hear you can go a bit smaller with GT brakes.. also, i would buy 3" studs for the front unless you want to cut off the ends of your stock studs to fit the spacer on since the wheels don't have relief cuts in the back of them..

you dont need a very BIG spacer for those. 3mm worked on my car. 5mm would be safe.

After talking to a MT rep today at NMRA, he talked me into running 15x10 rims in the rear, and definately going with a 275/60/15 tire. In the front, 15x4 rims with 165 tires in the front and probably will need a small spacer. Other than that, good to go!
