Another tire question Easy

[69fstback 10]

Jut picked up a cheap set of slicks at the swap meet and am looking for a set of cheap rims. The size of the tires are 28-9-15. I was thinking just a basic 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing would this work? or what do you think I would need?

looks like a 4.50 backspacing would work fine considering some have a 275/60/15 with that. and that is just a tad bigger. I think I may just go with a 4.75 backspace because summit has rims for $39.95 a piece with that.

Even a 15x7 would work with that tire.

Well it is going to be used for racing. Would you still say a 15x7 would work? I guess then i could use even a 4 inch backspacing if i went with a 15x7 correct

Sort of related. Do you think the 9" slicks will be enough traction? What power/drivetrain do you have. I am looking to buy some slicks and can't decide what will be enough to get some good grip.

 

Thanks, Dan
