Local guy is selling Mickey thompson ET Drag Slicks 26 x 8.5 x 15 on centerline 15x8rims.
Anyone know if these will fit properly on my '06?
Thanks!

You could ask the guy if you do a test fit on the car. Check the lug holes on those used Centerlines for spider web cracks,usually happens under extreme stress.If the are cracked they can cause an unbalanced wheel as well.

If the backspacing is too shallow they will prolly stick way out of the wheel well.

Backspacing on a set of stock 17" wheels is 6.29 inches,stock 18's is 6.82.Most Centerlines come in at 3 3/4's or 4 1/2",maybe more backspacing if they were special ordered.Measure from the backside of the hub to the outside of the rim.

MT ET Drag Slicks 26 x 8.5 x 15
Centerline 15x8 with 5" of backspacing
Anyone know if these will fit? I'm considering buying a pair for sale (somewhat) locally, but far enough away I don't want to drive there unless I know it works.
Thanks!

More backspacing issues......
I'm looking at a set of Cobra rims for my '05. It's a 18x10 inch rim with backspacing at 6.37", with a 275/40 tire mounted. I currently run stock 17x8" rims and tires, which are backspaced at 6.29" with a 235 tire: SO, this is a difference of .06" in rim backspacing, but almost 2 full inches in tire width....what, exactly, am I measuring in the wheel well to see if this combo fits on my car?
