Question Wheels/Tires for Drag Racing

American Racing TT IIs chrome centers
5.5 x 16 on the front 9.5 x 16 on the back

The internet site says they have these sizes if I understand it correctly.

I hope they have 135mm bolt patterns or you can custom order.

Any one have any knowledge or comments on the possibility. ??

Instead of 20's and bling I thought I might go functional.

That is a great question. NTB Orland Park, Ill. Just called me and said $310. for the fronts and $390 for the rears BUT I can get them !

Ofcourse I now have to get rubber but the offsets/backspacing should be optimal for fit and function..
I have to figure that out.

3 - 8 weeks for delivery.

Any down side ? I think they will look great and work well.

Tx

PS I will take the stock wheel off to measure but does anyone know the stock backspacing on '99 stock wheel ? Should I change it for any reason ?

Any recommendations for the fronts ?? I got good suggestions from you guys about what rubber will work on the backs.

looks like I have to use 7.0 x 16 front wheels cause I can't find rubber for 5.5 x 16

Nittos have an H rated tire (130mph) that will front 7.0 x 16
