06+ drag radials

SlowZster · 05-02-2008, 10:34 AM

looking to buy some DR's. I have an 06 350z with just the normal brakes (non-brembo). Have searched, and came up with summit or jegs 15x8 with 5.5" backspacing. My fenders are rolled, so I was thinking about the mickey thompson ET DR's 275/60/15 over the 275/50/15. My question, is wether or not the 15" wheels will fit over the stock rear brakes. I know the fronts came bigger from factory on the 06. I believe that the rears did as well. Will these still fit? Trying to order today, so any input is helpful. Thanks!

so, I am assuming the set-up will work?

they will fit on an 05...doubt that the bake sizes changed in those years.
I personally did not like the 275/60/15, I went back to 275/50/15, the 60's are too tall. The 50's are perfect for our cars.
I'm amazed you were able to get the ET's because they seem to be sold out for months everywhere. I ended up getting the new Hoosier 275/50/15 DR's and they are fantastic.

Hoosiers are the best DR's out there...then MT's...Either way I'm sure you'll be happy w/ the MT's.

OT question: what pressure are you running the hoosiers at? I'm still experimenting what works best on those babies

well, reason for asking about the 06 brakes is because according to other sites, the 06 rear brakes are 307x16mm (12.1" x 0.6") and the 05 rears are 292x16mm (11.5" x 0.6"). Wheels are due in soon, I hope they fit
