94 Mustang Wheel Question

sox · 01-11-2018, 10:02 AM

Buying a 94 GT Mustang and want to put 15x8 Draglites on the back and 15x31/2 on the front. Can anyone tell me back spacing to fit 275/60 Drag Radials on the rear and what size front tire will work. Also can you provide any pics on how they look with this setup. Thanks...

You can probably find that info on Corral, just by searching and not even having to post.

15 x 8 requires a 5.5 back spacing.

...or you can use:
15 x 9 with 6.0 bs
15 x10 with 6.5 bs

All 3 sizes will fit the wheelwell with 275 tire.

This pic shows my 95 GT with 15 x 8 ( 5.5 bs) using a 295-55-15 drag radial

Almack, I like the 295"s. Do you have any rubbing issues at all?

You will have to roll the inside lip of the fender to prevent cutting the tire.
No rubbing issues on the backside

How about the front tires. Looking at a 15x 3 1/2 rim.

I run mine with 15X10's on the back with the 30X9" Goodyears. 5.5" backspace but I had to clearance the front edge of the wheel well and roll the lip opening. I was rubbing when at speed with the tire roll-out. The sides would rub when the car squats good without rolling the wheel well. I think the disk brake 8.8 housing is 3/4" wider than the older drum brake cars.
