Anyone know how big I can go with slicks on my 90' GT without cutting the fender?
I am currently running 26x9.5 M/T street radials and can't hook for S#@t.

I want to go with the street ET's.

Yes I do...As well as have adj. drag struts in the front and have removed the front sway bar.

I managed a 12.787@108mph on Friday night and a best 1.8 60 foot, but still spinning pretty good.

I'd also like to know this as well since my drag radials are shot.

on a gt car i think that 26 is as tall as u can go and not get into the bumper. my friend has a gt car and he installed a cobra rear bumper to be able to get a bigger tire on it. what do u have on the rear shocks r they stock and what springs are they stock. and want tire pressure are u running. my last car had 26 10.5 et streets stock every thing but i had 90/10s up front. ran true street at fun ford and i placed in the top 10 with like a 11.50 averge on 3 passes and on the last pass i was running hotter and the car slowed down. his car is 10.70s on et streets. i ran like 15 psi in them

I run Comp Engineering adjustable rears set on 50/50.
Stock springs but I am running Hotchkis lower and adjustable upper trailing arms.

I've run anything from 12-20 psi in on my drag radials. My best 60 foot was at 14.
Just a note...Being from Calgary,Can., at 3400 feet, my car runs a bit slower in case anyone is wondering.
