Ok, so i had some questions. I dont know how wide the wheels are, or the backspacing, but it has MT ET streets on them and their 26x11.5x15. Do you guys think i can make them fit on my car? Maybe with a hammer? He said they will fit any 4 lug mustang. I was told their probably like a 10" rim. If i get some 275's for it will it fit? It has 2 wheels, and 2 mt et street tires with good life for $150. Heres some pics, anybody have any info on pacer wheels? I couldnt find anything, maybe you guys can guess what kind of backspacing it is? And what kind of lugs will i need? where can i get them? thanks.

26's will fit fine 28's you have to roll the fenders if they are 10 inch for the front too i dont think those will work. but the rear ones are fine

thanks guys, there only going to be used for the track, so i dont need them for the front, just the rear, you guys think the 11.5 tire is going to fit? I was told im going to have an extremely hard time getting them on, from stang8urimprt, and he works at a tire place so idk, any other opinons?

And how many runs do you guys think i can make on the et streets before i rip my torque boxes out or my rear end just falls apart?

Those have some weird looking lug holes, whats up with thtat?

I have a pair of 26x10.50 MT slicks on 8" draglites with 5.5 BS. Won't clear quads and I had to do a little "detail work" on the inner fenders arounf the shock mount. Will still rub around corners. I have talked to poeple with the same setup but 4.5"BS that dont seem to have as much problem.

Weld only makes the draglites as far as I know. Never heard of Pacer.

Pacer makes wheels that look like weld wheels but they use traditional cone shape lug nuts.

Ok no wonder the lug holes looked odd.

Dude there is no answer on how many launches you can handled. That is kind of a stupid question. Some people snap axles with slicks on the first try and some go years without snapping an axle.

yea sorry, i tried to search but when i put in "et" for "et street" it said et was to small of a word so i didnt find any results but i kep tlooking and found some answers, im just gonna take it out a few times get some times and not push her to hard. Sorry. and thanks.

About fitting, the tire is probably like a 295, and the wheel is probably a 10", and ill see the backspacing when it gets here, so im thinking, remove quadshock, maybe a spacer, and maybe a hammer, we'll see though, thanks guys

And what do i tell the guys at auto zone when i ask for the lug nuts? just cone style? any size?
