Help with picking drag wheel for 4th gen please...

I'm picking up a used set of Hoosier QTP's this weekend. They are 26x11.5x15.

I'm not sure what size wheel to pick up to use with these. I'm guessing a 15x8 wheel? My rear calipers are already ground down so the clearance for that won't be an issue. FWIW, I've also got the longer, hardened wheel studs. What backspacing should I look for? I don't want to have to use spacers. Is there anything else I need to look out for. Please let me know what I should look for.

thanks again.

The Hoosier website indicates that tire can be used on a wheel from 8" to 10" wide. For a 15x8" wheel you want a 5.5" backspace. For a 15x10" wheel, 7.5" BS.

We have a "Wheels and Tires" forum..... I'll move the post there. There's an FAQ stickied at the top of the page, with info about Weld and Bogart 15" wheels for 4th Gens.
