15" rims and slicks

Who is running 15 inch rear wheels with slicks?
Would like your input on this.
Thanks in advance.

Marc

isn't 16" the smallest you can go without rubbing the brake calipers?

I am aware of this. Some here have chosen to "grind" the calipers and run 15" verses 16". I have to believe that it is
because there are several "heigths" of E/T's available in
15" and only the smaller diameter in 16". I have been running
Hoosier 28 x 10 x 16 and can not run in the street class with
them and am considering going back to a DOT approved tire.
They make 28.2" tall E/T in 15" and I am interested in running
that particular tire.

Look under the add for "gen2 parts for sale" he has a set of 15" with MT's. He could probably answer your question with a definitive answer.

Give the Hoosier 28x14.5x16 Quick Time Pro a try...

Plenty of traction, and it works real good & it DOT !!

There are some pics on my website, see link below
