I've done a search and all I find is fox body chat.

I have a 97GT with eibach lowering springs. I currently run a 17x10.5 wheel with a spacer. My car has the PI swap done as well as a full exhaust and 3.73's etc. I would like to go with some Weld draglites and possibly hoosier slicks. Can someone please help me out with what size to get. I have slicks for my Lightning already and they are 28x10x16. (I wonder if the lug pattern is the same for the Lightning and the Mustang.)

I went to the track tonight and spun my ass off at an idle launch with a 2.0 '60 ft. The car ran 9.0 at 78mph but I believe if I can launch at about 3-4grand then I can cut that down considerably. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

15x10 with a 6.5 backspace, 26x10 slick. bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5, truck wheels wont bolt up. you will need 3 inch studs with the open end lugs.
