I want to run a 15x3 up front how much bs should I use on this. I want to run a 15x8 in the back with a 4inch bs that should be good. I want to fit a 235 or 245 in the back. Right now I have a 14x7 with 235's in the back with 195 up front. I one othere thing now is would my traction bars play a roll in the bs

I think most 15x3.5's are 1.75 bs or around that. I run them on the street.
I would go a little more than 235 for the backs. Your bars shouldn't be in the way of the tire at all.

Mine is more of a weekend cruiser but I run it on the street with 15 x 3.5 and 15 x 7s on the back with 4.5 backspacing. I also have 235x60x15 bfg drag radials. I wish they made them in 245s

Thanks guys so you run 4.5 . Yeah my car is turning into a weekend car. How do you like the bfg drag radials? I was thinking on getting the ET streets for now but the price is up there a bit for the rims and the tires. So I could run a 2-inch bs to be on the safe side.

My buddy runs 15x5's on the front of his '68. Doesn't look much different than a 3.5" wheel I think. Offers a bit more rigidity in the wheel and the tire won't tend to want to roll over so bad if you have to make an emergency turn.

i would also suggest a 15 by5 in the front
i think the 3.5 rolls the tire too much turning

I've made a few quick turns but if your going to daily drive it I would go with 15x5s. These will be my drag wheels when I get my 17x8 hopsters.

I love my bfg drag radials for the street but I'll be useing mickey slicks for the track.
