What size tire for my 15x6's

[beefcake]

trying to figure out what size for my semi-skinnies

on the back i'm gonna be doing the 325/50/15's on the 12" wheels

i'm gonna do 15x6's just to get a little better handling and brakin on the street,

plus i'm big as hell and need the support, rofl :)

ne way,

what size ya think, i know the rears will be about 28" tall,

a 185/65/15 will be about 24.5" high, think thats about right or do i need to try to find something taller. that section width should be about 7.3"

input?

I would get as close to a 26" tall tire especially with a 28 on the back.

how you gonna fit the 325's on a fox

You getting it mini-tubbed? Biggest rear rim you can fit on a foxbody is 15x10 with minitubing it.

15x10 even with the minitub?

dang, guess i'll do the 10's with the same tire

what backspacing 6.5? or 5.5?

what backspacing 6.5? or 5.5? you cannot fit a 325 under a fox without mini tub

you cannot fit a 325 under a fox without mini tub

i am doing a minitub, i guess im getting mixed info, some say i can do a 12" wide, now jeff says no

but if the 325 will fit on the 10 and go under, i would think it's about the same width (tire) almost

[Jeff88coupe]

Sorry beef...i ment to say...biggest to can fit WITHOUT minitubing it is a 15x10. If you minitub it and narrow the rearend...you can fit 15x12 easy with a 325/50/15

[beefcake]

ahhh,

lol

confusion over lol

what backspacing should i have on the 15x12? 5.5, 6.5, 7.5

[YouGotJunk]

I just sold my 15x12 Bogarts and they had 8in b/s on a stock width rear and mini tub. If you narrow the rear you will need to adjust accordingly.

I took it for a drive down the street the other day. I think I'm gonna switch cams. It acts real lazy in the lower rpms and has only 2-3" of vacuum at idle. I don't know the specs on it but my first impression is it will not work very well for a street car. So I'm gonna start investigating on something a little more street friendly.


Terry the 15x12's thru Bogart are $430ea for the D-10's. They pretty much custom build all their wheels so all you have to do is call them directly. However I would narrow your rear if you are gonna mini tub it. I'm sure Rob will tell you exactly the b/s you need.
