also i know that 5.0 backspacing for the rear is ideal but if its not available how does the 4.5 work for you?
would you have enough room to go with 5.5bs?
#31
still trying to find anyone who makes a rim that fits????????
But i do run a 15x10 wheel with a 26x10 slick
#32
i know what wheels i want but not sure what size to get cause i am not sure what fits
#34
the front im sure was 1.75 , it has a 5mm spacer to clear the calliper transfer port, do not machine that bit off , i can lower my coilovers all the way down with no drama, i also have the camber plates full negative, but it only is 2.5 deg neg anyway
Sorry for the late reply, my updates aren't coming to my email anymore

I have a question and I dont know if this is the correct topic to ask
I have a track prepared FD and I decided to do my first drag event. The track we have here has NOTHING to do with a proper drag strip
It uses glue only for 10-15 meter ( 30-40ft ) and the rest is normal highway tarmak
My setup gives me about 420bhp ( engine ) and I used track day tyres and not proper drag slicks...
My tyres where TOYO R888 size 255-40-17 and my best pass was 12.51 with the first 62ft covered in 2.25 - 2.35 secs. My exit speed was 120mph
So my first mod is to fit mickey tomson ET STREET size 26-10-16 on factory fitted 16'' rims. IS THIS OK??? Are the standard rims wide enough for this tyres? If not how wide do they need to be???
Also at this kind of power ( 420bhp engine ) and ET STREET tyres should I expect prop shafts , drive shafts , rear diff and rear diff case , gearbox etc to start falling to bits , blowing up etc etc
I am only asking because I have to drive 450 miles from and to the track...
Thanks alot

They will be fine. Best thing you could do! The differential will be the next weak link. Mine lasted a few years on et streets. Try to preload the driveline. Use the e brake and slip clutch to stage. This keeps everything tight and less chance of breakage.
Next mod.. Add a pfs diff brace. http://www.pfsupercars.com/Mazda/Drivetrain/

One last question. Proper drag tyres in size 26-10-15 are popular and easy to find in Greece
On the other hand MT ET street 26-10-16 are vary hard to find. Do you know someone ( shop , friend etc ) that can post these tyres to Greece
thanks again
