Weld Pro-Stars and Mickey Thompson ET's

helty · Mar 27, 2006

After I beef up the ass end, Im stepping up to some Mickey's and Weld Pro-Star's. Just want to make sure I get my sizes and all that chit right before I order anything.

I was planning on MT ET Streets, 275/50/15: (4th from the top) http://store.summitracing.com/defau...eywordSearch&DDS=1&N=115&target=egnsearch.asp

And Weld Pro-Star 96 Series, 15x8" rims: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stor...atalogId=10002&storeId=10001&categoryId=15707

I'd rather have a 9" with 275s, but it doesnt look like Weld offers that size and Summit says that tire will fit a 7.5"-9.5" rim. Hell I'd rather have a 15x10", but what size tire would I go with? MT has a 325/50/15, would I have clearance issues with my exhaust? (quad shocks already removed ) Also a 60 profile's too big isnt it?

Also, what backspacing would I need to get? Thanks guys, just let me know what tire/rims size combo you recommend. I dont need the fattest tires out there, as long as they fit the rim properly w/o stretching or bulging to the point it affects performance or isnt safe.

Thanks

EDIT: I just found a 15x9" Pro-Star, but its a 2-piece and costs $100 more EACH than the 15x8's.

That's what I'd go with.

thanks man. Have you (and blackfang) ever ran into any problems having them mounted, or is it a bit of a stretch? I know you guys are running BFGs, and Im looking at Mickey's, but I'd still like to know anything you can tell me about them. Thanks!

What do you have..Been awhile since i have talked to you

no more gas mileage or DD questions/issues please, I'll take the pros and cons with all my mods

jasonh_86 · Mar 27, 2006

I thought you were talkin about Teh Dargon, but wasn't sure

Cantslowdown · Mar 27, 2006

LOL helty thats cool..I wasnt going to say anything bad about using the stang as a d/d with all the mods u want to do..A guy I work with has a T/A and he drives it around alot its a good low 12 sec car..

hotmustang331 · Mar 27, 2006

Hey Helty, are you planning on driving to the track with the 15s? Or just slapping them on at the track?

the reason I ask is because you may want to look into some DOT slicks since your going through that much cost and want a nice drag setup + you can drive them to the track (if not too far). = crazy hook.

BTW skinnys will pick you up almost a MPH in the 1/4 (depending on app.). You should think about buying some.

helty · Mar 27, 2006

Hopefully I'll be slapping them on at the track, thats the plan anyway. DOT Slicks huh?........noted

I'm pretty sure he's gonna haul 'em up there and then just jack the car up and swap 'em out. As not to cause excessive wear.

Good call hotmustang (on the skinnies)
