I just picked up some well needed slicks for very cheap, 26.0x8x15 MT ET drag. My question is does anyone know off the top of thier head, from experience, what kind of car with a 4x100 lug pattern comes stock with a 15" wheel that is wide enough for these tires? How skinny do you think I can go-- I found a car in a local junkyard with 195/15's, but I think they would be too skinny??? I dont have the money to buy real drag wheels and theres a lot of junkyards around where I am now, which is why I need the type of car- thats how they look it up. I think I heard miatas had wheels that would work, but what year? Can anyone help me please!!!

 

we've mounted a 26x10/15 on a 15x7 wheels before, yours will be fine on any gsr/si/ls wheel

 

Too cheap to buy real drag wheels, but can afford 300 hp? I'd say do it right the first time and get some real drag wheels. Miata wheels are only 15x6, same as OEM Honda's.

Most people don't attend the track enough to warrant buying a $600 set of Bogarts.

I used some 01-03 Civic EX 15" steelies for 8" wide M&T slicks. Mine were 22x8 but worked fine and got me 1.6 60ft's. New they are like $60 from Honda so a cheap setup if your desperate.

 

The closest 1/4 mile track to me is like 2hrs away, plus the local 1/8th mile is closing down for good soon so I dont need to spend a lot on someting I will barely ever use.
Those 01-03 Civic 15" steelies are only 195's probably, I think I will go back to that junkyard where I saw those 15's and grab 2 of em, they actually didnt even look that bad for cheap aftermarket wheels...

what the expletive does it matter? if he wants cheap wheels, let him be?

 

yeah, i have a set of 16" rotas and another set of 17"s, and 2 steelies with cheap tires I used to use as drag rims. So I dont need to spend any more on wheels. Especially ones Ill almost never use.
