Weld Draglites

[300]

Well Racers, Got my 65 Satellite to the point that I need some advice on,It will be Street/Strip, Want to go with Weld Draglites. What size on front and back? Thinking 7" front, 8" rear, Also backspace for each. What size tires can I go with, Car is not tubbed. Thanks in advance

Are the springs moved in board? If so, you can fit 15x10 w/6.5 bs welds on the back. On those rims I have 29x10.5W tires mounted. I don't like such a wide tire in front. I know this is for the street but a thinner tire looks killer and if you aren't road racing it a 4.5/5" tire would be fine for normal cruising. This is just my opinion though.

scratch the rear idea on mine then. 15 x 8.5 with 4.5 backspace you can fit a 30x10.00 rear tire

Like that, Dumb question ( not much of a tire guy). So the rims on back are 15x 8.5". And fronts are 15x 3.5". Correct? That's a narrow rim up front
What are the actual size of tires F&R. Thanks

unless your just a street car,then go bigger up front. but most racers use 3.5 fronts.
You are in the race section. correct

I got the 15x4 for my fronts that's all the summit brand of centerline had. And 15x10 in the rear but I relocated my springs

7" up front don't really look good
Go with a 15 by 4 if they make it.

I have a 64 Sport Fury, so our wheel wells are the same. For rears, use a 15x8 1/2 with a 4 1/2 inch back spacing. Tires are 275/60/15. Fronts, I went with a 6 inch wheel. No offset. I think the tires are 225/70/15. you need a tall front tire to fill the wheel well.
