Hm 5 1/4 puts the wheel about 1 inch from springs and mine are offset shackles..seems a little close..4.5 backspace probably better

 

All i know is that a 10.5x28-15 slick on a 8.5 x 15 centerline is very tight, about a finger to the fender and a finger to the spring. A 10.00x28-16 slick on a 4.5 b.s. tt2 fits lots better. (62 savoy).

 

I have been looking at Mickey Thompson S/R radials for the rear 28x12x15. They only offer 8 inch wide in 27 inch for the front. I think that’s a tad skinny for me. Been toying with the 28x12x15 on back with Sportsman S/T 225-70/15 on front. Not sure about 2 different tread patterns. What do you guys think? I’m sure there are some guys doing that.

 

Here is a 30x10x15 on a 10 wheel but I moved the springs in 1 inch with e body hangers and offset shackles no problem at all

 

Is that the Hoosier p/n 18205 30/10.5/15 tire?

 

Car looks great. I assume it's got the stock length rear , what is the rear wheel back space ?. What size front tires are you running?.

 

All 275 tires are not the same. I have both the Mickey Thompson ET Street Pro and the S/T in 275/60/15 sizes. The Pro's are bigger and on an 8" steelie. They are all the tire you will ever need! I've been 1.36 60 ft. with them on my street car and they are amazing!

 

BF Goodrich T/A Radial. Think they’re still available.
285/R70-15. Off the top of my head, about 30” tall, approx !!” Cross section, around 9.5” tread, on an 8” rim.
My old Polara, back in about ‘96.

 

Nice Car!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is more than impressive quarter mile time! Is it N/A?

That’s a terrific 60’ I needed 12” Hoosiers to get those 60’s.

 

He has stated elsewhere that it is a low elevens car on the motor. The low ten was a nitrous pass. I don't know how big a shot.

 

gotcha..thanks IMP

 

11.19 @ 121 mph on motor alone.
10.01 @ 133 with 250 shot.
3,650 lbs.

 

Great numbers, is 3650 the car only?, if not ,what's the car only weight?. Thanks

 

No, with driver. 3,440 -ish lbs. car only.

 

very cool... 440? or stroker?... and that 60 ft is better than the space shuttle...awesome sleeper!!

 

Thanks! It's a mild 505" RB.
