I don't know of any 5 bolt axles with the same specs beside custom?

If all goes to plan I should have brand new custom 15x10 wheels, good used 28x10.5 Drag slicks, new pads rotors and calipers all for 475. Just need to design a bracket to hold the rear calipers.

Matching front skinny wheels should be less than 200 and tires I still need to look for.

Did you notice any difference in the braking bias?

Yea, i also plan on staying vacuum. I was just wondering how the drum brakes act with the proportioning valve being setup for disc. Guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

PLEASE report back on those tires. I want to mount those on 15x10s too. Pics and a review would be awesome. Good luck !

Those tires and the new Hoosier Dot Drag Radial are the only reason im doing this so that I can run in the street class at the drag strip. It should pick up a lil on the big end and Hopefully not give up much on the bottom end. Currently runnin 28'' full slick future 29.5 or 30'' Drag radial.
