What's the best slick for 4K 11.5 second car

[threewood]

9.5 is the max recommended by Mickey thompson. Depending on your car anywhere from 8-10 would work. Offsets are important. Centerline has 4 7/8" rear backspacing in their 15x8.5" draglite and convo pros which would work nicely.
That’s what I ran on my Belvedere.

I have some 8x15 steelie rims in my garage I could use is why I'm asking. Spares for the track. Thank you.

I'm using the 4 7/8 bs cl too. Fit great on my 69 rr, needs a small spacer on my 62. (65 8 3/4 rear?)

These would be fine. I also used 8" steelies on the Belvedere too. I get bored and mix things up. Often. Lol

You’ll have to pry my M/T PBR’s out of my cold dead hands. Only thing I’ll run. On a coke-bottle body, 29.5x10.5s would fill the wheelwell nicely.

That's what I recommended too, in #6.

This was 9X30's on a 7" rim. Over 4000lbs, 4.10 gear, SS springs, and about 600 hp. Best "time-slip" pass, was 11.30 and 1.50 60ft.
I was warned to go slower or leave [lap-belt and no bar]. We re-jetted for the cold weather, left at higher rpm, and adjusted tire pressure. It went 10.89 on the scoreboard, but they wouldn't give me the time-slip...and told me to leave.

Wow, thats a cool ´67 Station Wagon!!! May I ask if you just run the SS Springs or do you have anything else like cal tracs, traction bars, pinion snubber? Thanks in advance!

Nothing, except the springs. One thing I did do, was put air-shocks on individual lines to preload as it worked best. Never more than 25lbs on either side.

I've had better luck with Hoosier. (as well as lighter on pocket book) Than either Goodyear or M/Ts. I believe Goodyear is probably the best performer, but didn't last as long.
