Re: will these tires work for my day 2 project?
Here's my car with factory 15 X 8 Corvette Rallys and 28 X 11.5 M/T ET Streets.
I did a little research and it appears the 15 X 8 rally's have a 4" backspacing not 4-1/4". So a 4-1/2" backspace would be better as mine are a little too far out although I don't have an issue with any rubbing. Kurt

Re: will these tires work for my day 2 project?
Honestly Kurt, Your car looks just like the cars we had years ago. The stance, quarter window decals and the slicks that you bolted on after you drove the car to the track and uncorked the headers. After a day of drag racing cork the headers up and change to the L60's we drove to the track on. I think you pretty much get it Kurt in my book. Most of the Z/28's ran in the mid to high 12's and the L78 cars ran low 12's and maybe high 11's. At least in the Norristown, Pa. area. ALL driven to back and forth to the track.

Re: will these tires work for my day 2 project?
Why ditch the Nickey sticker? They sold parts in the mail. I think it is perfect as it is.

Re: will these tires work for my day 2 project?
actually its amazing with the nickey stuff on my car how many people i get to educate about the old super car dealers. but i always let them know mine was not one of them. as for the skinnies on the front no issues at all. and i drive my car all the time!! luckily i have great california weather.
