help with BIG slicks, get these to fit!

[wnarunm]

I know its possible.... I am in the process of welding 2"x3" square tubing on the backside of the rear frame rails and then i am going to remove the frame rail all the way to the the back plate where the new bracing/frame rail has been welded giving me alittle more than 2" and also moving the wheel wells in 2" "minitub"

-I want to run 15x10 prostar's...
-and a 28x10.5W slicks The WIDE ones

I have 33 spline axles and a spool behind my 10 bolt and it is the stock width.

the 28x10.5w tires are really 11.5 i believe... I want to know what backspace do i need to run this tire and if there are any that run it on a 10" rim? I would really like for it to be within the wheel well (within reason) so 3.5" is outta the guestion and after doing some searches i have seen pics of 5.5" b/s that looked killer with some bfg drags. I have also pm'd some people on here but they ended up having a 9" rear and a ladder bar setup

There are a few on here that know my combo and yes i will need that tire

Help me get these suckers in there!

Thanks a lot!

The Pro star 15x10 with a 5.5 in BS is all you got. I would email Kendall Frederick. He did the same as you have described and runs a Draglite rim . I believe its the same size and back space with a 29 in slick. Hes also got a lot of pics on his site.

I currently run a 15x10 convo pro with 5in BS. My frame notch is not as severe as yours but my regular non "w" 28 x 10.5 fits very nice within the well.

I removed my PRO-STARS 15x10 with 5.5" BS, I have 2-Sets

1-set with 29.5x10 MT Slicks & other Set with no tires.

The set with slicks are drilled for screws.
Very good Condition if interested. I can remove tires.

Also have 2-15x6" Fronts with 27x15 MT's in Very Good condition.

I have gone to ALUMASTAR2 Wheels all around.

Joe, e-mail me direct with a price on a pair of those wheels. We just mini-tubbd a Stage II car and will see if he wants them. The 5-1/2" will fit perfectly.

 

[wnarunm]

PM me about what price you want the bare rims (no rim screws) thanks!

I though you wanted to run TSM wnarunm??If so,you need to read the rules on tire size and turbo limits.

 

[wnarunm]

yeah... playing with alot of ideas with the car right now. I will gladly change to a true 10.5 tire for compition. But there are many race weekends that are gonna be filled with all out, let see what it will really do passes And I would like to notch to be able to fit that tire instead of do a frame notch and that sucker wont fit later.

 

[wnarunm]

yeah, and i have that te45a sitting around, if someone is interested in trading with me for a much larger (not TSM legal) turbo thats cool becuase i wanna see the limits of this stock block like everyone else does.

Mini Tubbs

Mini Tubbs are not TSM legal. The frame notch is.
