Slick Question

[00FourSixGT]

Not sure if it's in the right forum but here goes, I've got some 28x12.5x15 MT ET Streets. Can I run them on my 2000 mustang GT? my rear end is stock except for 4.10's. Also can they be mounted on a 97 v6 rim? I think it's a 15x7. Thanks alot

The tires and wheels will work. I have some 17's on my old split spoke wheels and although mine sits a little higer and screws with the ABS, the 15's will work just fine for you.

You cannot mount the 12.5 inch slick on a 15x7 rim. The largest you can mount on an 8 inch rim is a 10.5. In order to run the slick you are asking about, you have to run a 10 inch wide rim. Also, your axles will take quite a beating on a clutch drop slick launch. Even a stock mustang GT can snap the 28-splines llike toothpicks with a set of slicks and a hard launch. Just be generous and careful without upgraded axles.

thanks alot man. so the 28" tall tire will fit, just need to be easy, gotcha, now i just need 2 new rims lol

Ah...missed the 7 inch wide wheels. Sorry about that.

I did some pretty hard launches on mine. Really the weak link will be the DS. Unless you are pushing 350HP the axles should be fine.

thanks, that was my main concern.
