Holeshot wheels!:icon_tup:

come on guys I know there are more people with bad ass setups too.

I will try and get some pics of mine this weekend.

Here are some pics of the car with some ET DRAG 28x10.5-15's in the rear! Need to get my @$$ to the track :lol:

damn that setup is sick

Thanks man!

Hey re motorsports. did you have to roll/cut the quarte panel to fit the 28x10.5

I'm sure you guys are sick of seeing mine. I feel like I post it all the time, but here goes anyway.

Back: Stock FD wheels with 26 x 10.5 -16 ET Streets
Front: Stock FD Spares with 500/525-16 Coker http://store.cokertire.com/500-525-1...blackwall.html

It's actually really refreshing to see nice quality pictures.

No rolling or cutting, I did raise up the rear though. I might roll and pull the fenders out a bit but haven't found the time to play with it yet.

I know that 99% of the FD guys are running 26" tall tires, Im running the 28" to be cool I guess! :lol:

Just finished this today. 26x11.5 No rolling. Had to tweak the calipers and the toe-link mount on the hub.

It looks great. You should come up to Indy in July and help me pick on the pistons. http://www.indystreetcarshootout.com/

If the car actually performs we may. We're going to shake it down tomorrow and see what falls off.

holeshot pro, wheels.. 15x13 rears and 15x3 fronts.. with a bead lock..

Love the car and look!

15x4 fronts and 15x8.25 rears 4.5 inch backspace, should have been 5 inch back space.
the rear tyre is 26x8.5x15 mt slicks, the front i think is some 24x 4.5 i think, ill check some time soon,

zinx i never get tired of your pics. awsome hole shots. beefcake nice pic

can you take a pic from the side standing straight out from the car.i want to see how much space there is between the tire and the wheel well opening.thanks

I can try to remember to get one later. Car went home with the owner yesterday. We are going to try to hit the track again this week. The challenge is remembering the camera and then to remember to take the pictures!

We did hit the track last night. Car is running much better and we appear to be headed in the right direction FINALLY. Rear wheel/tire combo worked fantastically with good bite and no rub issues.

I love all these setups. My car won't probably be done till next year ugh. The pics are pure sex.

Whats the size and back spacing of the wheel if you dont mind me asking?

It's a 15x10 Holeshot. Backspacing is 6.5" but we're using a 1/2" spacer.

The stock wheels look good with et streets

what is the backspacing on the front wheels?
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?

Weld RTS. 15x8.25 5.5 bs with ET Streets in 26x10

Yeah i have 15x4 front runners with 1.75" backspace and they sit outside the guards with a 25x4 MT tyre and also hit the caliper :(
still trying to find anyone who makes a rim that fits????????

But i do run a 15x10 wheel with a 26x10 slick

i know what wheels i want but not sure what size to get cause i am not sure what fits

i sectioned and boxed my rear lower control arm at the front edge of it , i was anticipating 5 to 5.5 inch backspace, the front outer edge of the rear lower control arm is the bit that stops decent backspace from happening under the rear of a FC , but in the end i got shitty 4.5 inch backspace . I can show a pic if you wish, the rear guard lip needs rolling or flaring as much as you can too .

the front im sure was 1.75 , it has a 5mm spacer to clear the calliper transfer port, do not machine that bit off :blush: , 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 :icon_tup:
Sorry for the late reply, my updates aren't coming to my email anymore :scratch:

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/

Now that's dedication!!! :icon_tup:

This is a clip of my best run. I did a 12.55 with 2.3 62ft and the opponent did a 1.9 62ft but lost with a 12.9

You can see that the wheel spin in 1st and 2nd gear is UNAXEPTABLE

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
