I am looking for a wheel/tire set-up for my '01 GT for track use only (1/8th mile). I am considering 15 x 10 with 6.5 backspace Weld Drag Lites. Do I need the XPs or will the regular ones work with GT brakes? What about the fronts? What offset is needed there? For tires I was looking at 28 X 10.5 X 15 MT ET Drag slicks or 275/60/15 MT ET Drag radials. The car makes 500rwhp, has an automatic and a 410 gear. Any recommendations? I also like the looks of the Center Line Telstars but their catalog doesn't list anything with a 6.5 backspace? I really like the look of the new MT ET wheels - but unfortunately MT likes them even more than I do! They are a little bit pricey! The Weld Magnums also look good.

 

I have had 15 x 10 with 6.5 BS on my 2000 Roush with ET Streets. They worked great.

 

i got 6 1/2 and its perfect with a 10 inch rim the rear

 

i got 15x10's with a 6.5 BS, and 26.5x10x15 ET streets and they fit excellant. as for the front i have 15x3.5's with a 2.0 or a 2.5 BS but it doesnt matter cause you will need a spacer for the front no matter what you get. all 4 corners are draglites as well.
