I am going to be putting a bolt in 9" from QP in my Bu. I want to run ET Streets with Weld Draglite's. I have no frame notch or clearancing whatsoever. What would you recommend for biggest I could go? Size and backspacing? Any pics would be awesome. Thx.

Stock width rear, 15x8 wheels with 3.5" backspacing with a 28x11.50 ET Street or a 275/60 MT ET Drag Radial.

No mods and I can get the 28/11.50's a? Funny cuz I was looking at that size ET Street at Jegs on display thinking that would fit. That would be nice setup I believe. 15x8 work with the disc brakes also? Thx. man.

I run the 8's with a 3.5" bs and that tire on my Monte with no problems. I have had a 7.5, 8.5, and 9" in this car with drum brakes and they have worked with every rear...

It sounds bigger than it is. ET Streets are labeled by their sidewall width, whereas slicks are labeled by tread width. So, 28x11.5 really = 28x9 give or take.

Well, I ordered a set of 15x8's w/ 3.5" b.s. and MT ET Streets (28x11.50x15's). Hopefully fits no prob. If not I can always roll the lip and notch a lil if needed.
