New drag tires

275/60-15 Nitto 555R on Summit 15x8 wheels with 5.5 backspace. 1/8" spacers to clear the calipers.

Have not even driven on them yet, so I can't say how they work. Had 26x11.50-15 ET Street bias plies and hated how the car drove on the street with them. Obviously these won't hook as well, but we'll see. I've use Nittos with varying success on other cars but never this size and with this much power.

very nice! I think with the right tire pressure they will hook good. I put mine on my 18s a few weeks back but all the rain lately hasnt given me a chance to visit the track (good on the street). Keep us posted.

Looks freakin mean. I might end up stealing your style... Do you have the part number for the rims you used?

Awesome, thanks. I keep looking at the style (didn't know all the correct sizes) but never order it because I get kinda nervous about what it will look like.

Great looking stance as I really like the taller sidewall!!

What springs are your running?? I am considering the 305/40/18, which is the same height as yours.

The Ford K-springs. My car sits a little lower in the front than most that run the K-springs because of the iron block, Vortech/intercooler, etc.

Glad I came across this. Im getting my 15x8 Summits tonight from a local guy who had them on his Fox and I didnt know if it needed a spacer. everytime i searched it sounded like I didnt need them. We'll see

That looks good!

Well, a little impromptu test proved that they are quite a bit stickier than the 285/40-18 F1 Supercars that I usually run on the back, at least in cooler weather (55 degrees or so).

Accelerated slowly from a light, stabbed it in first at around 3500 rpm and it stuck through first, just a little chirp with a quick 1-2 shift and it stuck all through second. My Goodyears would have spun through the second half of first and most of second in cool weather. I have the Nittos at 30psi and I obviously didn't heat them up at all.

They actually drive really nice also.

Looking killer Kris!!!

looks freaking badass bro!

Nice, how much do the Summits weigh..?

My rear 275/50/15 on summits are 46lbs, same as stock wheels/tires

Looks badass with all that meat in the rear.

Everytime i look at this thread- it makes me want to buy them more and more. This is making my choice of wheels that much harder.
