I'm planning on putting some slicks on the Mustang. 15x3.5 up front and 15x8 or 15x10 out back. What is the biggest(best) rim tire combo I can go with out back with my Eibach Pro kit. Will 28x10.5x15 work? Or should I go 26x10x15? Also what tire should I use up front? Thanks for any responses!

i honestly dont understand the point of using slick to get a faster time at the track unless you drive around like that normally...just seems kinda pointless to me...its like you run a 12.9 at the track with slicks...ok cool...but when you are driving around on the street and you lose to someone and you tell them that if you had your slicks you would have won...i dunno slicks just seem stupid to me unless that is how your car normally is...seems lame to change for the track.

OK..... the point of running at the track is to run the 1320 as fast as you can. it's not meant to be a what you run on the streets simulator.

have you ever been to the track?

You should be good with a 28x11.50 or 29x1150

But it just depends really, I'd say since you have 3.73's you should go with a 26x11.50

You want to retain stock tire height with 26" tires to avoid rubbing. A 275/50/15 will work fine.
