I have a 94z28 and want to run some skinnys and some wide meats in the back... I am looking at the new mickey thompson et
http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/racewheels.html

I know I am of course going with the fronts 15X3.50 with the sportmans mt tires, anyone else recomend some of tire brands...

and for the rears I am debating on the 15X8 15X10 and have no clue what backspacing to use... Also I want to run the et street radials and what size do you all recomend using 295/50/15 etc...

This is not a daily driver, but if I am stuck in the rain I can deal with the et street radials, I currently have them on my car on stock rims...


THanks for your opinions and help
BTW anyone buy these wheels yet, they look killer!!

 

with a 295 your goona want to go with the 10" tire and with the 10" tire your gonna want a 7.5" back spacing.... You will also need to grind the caliper a bit and depending on wich wheels you want to run.. New studs and a spacer in th front

 

as in 10" tire, are you referring to the rim size???

anyone else ttt

thanks purplemaroz28

 

For the rear, you need 15x8 with 5.5" backspace, or 15x10 with 7.5" BS. I don't see those sizes listed for the M/T's. Not many wheel manufacturers make them. I also looked at the M/T website, and don't see anything larger than a 275/50-15 in the ET Street Radials, at least not in a 26" diameter tire. That tire requires a 10" wide rim, at least according to M/T.

There are larger 15" tires, but they are 28" diameter, which start to run into clearance problems on the 4th Gens.

I'll leave the front tires to you, as I wouldn't want to get involved in the liability of recommending a tire on that narrow a wheel for street use on a car that has 58% of its weight on thr front wheels.

 

Thanks for the info Injuneer, so basically are these out of the question...

anybody wiht some other ideas...
