    You lucky dog. That's exactly what I've been looking for, same rim and slick and everything. Congrats!

    I haven't been able to make myself buy them from Jegs cause they are so expensive, but I haven't been able to find much used.

    What width is your rear end (on your car that is)? Do you need spacers?

    I have a 1957 Ford 9 " in my car so these wheels and tires will fit perfectly without spacers.
    My street tires are 275/60`s on Weld 15x10 with 4.5 backspace.

    These are the first slicks I`ve ever actually owned.

    The car ran a 1.87 60ft. on Pep buys Futura GLS street tires

    But I was "feathering the throttle quite a bit to do it.

    I cant wait to LAUNCH the car!:)
