Default What Drag slicks fit the S197 Mustang

Can anyone tell me what drag slicks fit under the s197 Mustang ? For example the Mickey Thompson 3055S Tire ET Drag Slick 28 x 10.5-15 ?
I was originally thinking about a new set of Nitto´s 555R´s but since I allready have 1 set of 20" and 2 set´s of 18" all mounted on wheels, I guess 2 drag slicks would be more reasonable If going to the strip.

Really depends on the rim u want

for 15" Bogarts are only direct fitment ones made and those MTs would work

Ok. Are there some standard sizes of wheel+tire combo or most common type which people have been using under these cars?

btw.. FREAKNAZTY how is the Livernois buildup going ?

I'm running M/T #3057, 28x11.50-15 slicks on 15x9.75 Bogarts. No issues except that I'm running coilovers, and I need a 1/4" spacer on the wheels. Prior to that, I ran the M/T 28x10.50-15s on a 15x9 Weld XP wheel.

Of course, with just about any 15" wheel (the XP is an exception), you may need a swaybar relocation bracket (or switch to an anti-roll bar, like I did).

+1 definitely have to move the sway bar.

I went to the extreme roll control bar on mine as well.

I'll add that I tend to do a little better with the stiff wall's on my twin screw car then the standard. Might just have something to do with the weight of these cars.
