What 4 bolt pattern rims do I need to mount Goodyear Drag Slicks on 95GT ?

Two Goodyear Eagle Stock Car Specials 27 x 10 x 15. <-Im looking for a Ford Bolt pattern that will fit this size. Im guessing a 17 x 10.5 rim will hold em. help!

Sorry no responses... ive looked all over the web but couldnt find anything.. have you tried calling a wheel/tire shop? they could probably find out for you. the tire has to be close.. both have to be same wheel diameter.. but usually a 10.5 tire will fit on a 10" rim.. at least thats the way it works with offroad tires.

The bolt pattern will be the same as what you have now. What I think you are looking for or asking is the amount of backspacing you require. (the distance between the inside of the rim and inner fender)

For a 10.5 in tire you should at least have a 9.5 or a 10in wide rim. As for backspacing, I would guess at 4 to 4.5 inches. But don't hold me on that as you should double check it. A tire shop or someone on this board probably has the correct dimesion that you want.

P.S. a 10.5in tire is pretty big to stuff under your wheelwells, you probably will have to roll in you fender lips so the sidewall won't rub. Also a stock car tire is not the same as a true drag slick, I guess they will do and are better than a street tire and probably cheaper than a slick.

The stock car slicks will hook, but you've got to get them EXTREMELY hot and run them at a very low psi. I'd look for a set of Draglites as a lot of guys with SN95's are running 10.5" tires with these.

what exactly are you looking for? on the subject it says what four bolt pattern rims do I need...... but a 95GT has five lugs.

the tire has nothing to do with the bolt pattern you need.....use the same bolt pattern as what your car has. then find a rim that will fit the tire and that has that bolt pattern.

if you tires are 27x 10 x 15 that measn that youll need to find a 15" diameter rim to mount those tires on. the tire will be around 27 " tall and around 10" wide.

if you could tell us what you are actually lookin for it would help.......
