One more 15X8 rim option on the cheap!

[don_w]

As usual, you're right. Was watching a lot of tire yesterday and my mind mix up all those.
Here is the one i was refering too.

Sportsman S/R Radial
28'' x 10''R x 15''LT
http://www.jegs.com/i/Mickey+Thompson/672/6640/10002/-1

That's just a regular old street radial. It might look good on the street, but I don't see it being much help in the traction department.

Wonder if these (or the Jegstars) could be widened? Guy that does all the wheel repair and wheel widening for HPP does it for like a hundred a wheel.

Can someone please experiment with a 2008 car with factory brakes !?

Bro, with the research I've done I think the brake differences is a myth. I'd just order one, if it doesn't fit, send it back. You'd only be out the shipping charges.

Traction is not an issue as it's for going to work or going to the racetrack, i have my 15" with et drag for racing.

That's just for look. I like the look with the 15", might change my 18" for those.

Tired of waiting Yee Ha!! Picked up a set of holestars. What do you guys think of MT drag 28/10.5/15 is to much tire for 503 rwhp with 410s. Any suggestion on starting air pressure. Oh yea its manual trans.

What sucks is that's the price of both wheels.

thats what i was thinking. Widen those 15x8 to 10. Hawg, can you double check on that guy??

 

[Hawgman]

yea, but still the price of two wheels and having both widened is the same as the price of one Bogart!

I doubt he would be able to tell me anything without having one of the wheels to look at. I know his price is correct, just don't know if it would be possible with this wheel. I will call tomorrow and talk to one of the guys in the office. They are familiar with this thread and the Jegstar thread so they know what the wheels are and would be able to talk to him about it.

I used to run that same tire on 15x9s with 4.10s. They worked pretty well for me. Depending on track conditions, I usually ran them between 10 to 12 psi.

 

[XtremeStang]

Thanks Don, I have a track rental March 31st at Atco, will start at 14psi and work my way down. UPS just del. my swaybar relocation kit, in the instruction it tells you to remove rear shocks. Can this be done by removing bottom shock bolt only?

Dude....can't you go to M/T's site and read the damn chart for yourself?????

Happy now?

Just trying to get input of what tire combo would be best for my n/a setup at the track moving to e.t street's on 15 inch rim and for front runners.

Prefer not making a mistake


THANKS BUD!!

 

[xtweakerx]

Roush Stage did you get the 15 inch front wheels on yet? any final pics ?? did you have to use the spacer?

 

[xtweakerx]

Do you know if that tube is ordered by 1 per order, or contains two tubes in 1 order?

Also you think I should run the tube in them? I thought some of the guys on here go tubeless?

I've never run tubes in my slicks...

 

[XtremeStang]

Hey Don W I just pick up holestars and with mt slicks, screwed and no tubes one seems to lose more air pressure than the other in a few days.
Is this normal bc I'm not running tubes.

Stkjock (Dave) Thanks I would have been at Atco all by myself!!

 

[DarkFireGT]

Those look great and the price is definitely awesome too. Nice to finally have some cheap options. Wish I wasn't broke.

Not entirely.

Raceline RL-23978012M (17x8, +12mm offset, 5” backspace) Will fit on an '05 but not on an '07. Hoping to try them on an '06 sometime this weekend.

 

[Ray's 08 GT]

Ok. Excuse me because I'm a newb. So most of your drag racing tires are going to require a tube? I know m/t makes a tubeless for the 17" rim but if I wanted to go with these 15's I will need to run tubes right?
