Talking Slicks

Can anyone answer this question. I have a 2006 GT and have the Eibach Sportline springs installed, which dropped it 2" all around. Question I have is this: I have the oppurtunity to get a "FREE" pair of M&H Slicks. They are 28/10.5/15 in size, question is will the 15" wheels fit the car and clear the disk brakes (Stock in size) and will the car being lowered cause interference with the slicks rubbing? If the 15" will fit is there any ofset or special wheels that I need to get (I am just going to get a cheap set of steel wheels) Thanks for the responses

To run a 15" rim you would have to relocate the rear sway bar and do some caliper grinding. You would also need a wheel with I think its 7" offset to work.


Take the tires, sell them online, and get Nitto Drags instead if you need to daily drive on them.

^^^ +1.

Plus with the 2" drop you'll never be able to run big slicks. I can barely run a 10.5" with an 1.5" drop.

On a side note though, love the car. Didn't see your sig until your other thread. Pretty nice setup you got there.
