Default Wheel sizing question

Hey,

I have an upcoming dragstrip rental I am attending and am thinking of some slicks to run for it. Will 15X8 Weld Pro stars with 5.5" backspacing with 26X10 MT E.T Drag Slicks fit on a 99 with factory brakes? Thanks,

Kap

i wouldnt think so, the 16 inch f-body wheels you have to modify to get them to fit, so i think the 15 inch wheel will not fit.

Aight... There are coming off an fbod.. But I was pretty sure the calipers on the vette were bigger.. I was really hoping it would work though.
