Your abs light come on? I ask because with the different tire heights the abs light usually comes on.

I'm sure it will tomorrow morning on my way in to work!!!

295/50/15 are 26.6" diameter, so most likely the ABS and traction control are now non-functional.

Oh well!

Doesn't make a difference what size wheel you run, just the overall diameter of the wheel and tire. I happened to have to get a larger tire, so my speedo will read just slightly slower than I'm really going. But it will be a negligible difference most likely.

Haha, actually yes I may have a local buyer down here, but if that doesn't work out, I will let you know.

Why did you buy pep boys futura's for the rears? Seems like a waste IMO. I would have gone for a set of DR's or something

Futuras last a long time. He has another set of Welds w/ ET Drags on it. He doesn't street race so no need for traction on his everyday tires.

Looks awesome Dave!

15x10 w/6.5" BS is by far the best looking and fitting size for drag wheels don't care what anyone says I had 15x8 and they don't compare...the rear looks too beefy for such a skinny rim to look good

15x10 is the way to go!

I agree. I don't have the power to justify 10" slicks yet, but when I do, I'll switch duties between the 15x8's and 15x10's.

These 295/50/15's are nearly 27" tall, though!

Car looks sweet !
Are you going to keep those rims on always, or more for track use ?

Just wondering how good they feel on the highway, and around town.
