Default 15x9 For Drag

Hey guys, I'm looking into a set of slicks for my 350z and found some Mickey Thompson ET Street Slicks with New American Racing Wheels.
The Rim is 15 x 9 with a 0 offset and a backspace of 4.5
The tire is 26 x 10.5 x 15

Will these fit without clearance issues?

Bmurray was running something close to this I think (maybe 16" rims). Maybe he could chime in on his setup.

According to this calculator it should fit, might have some fender clearance issues though.

Oh, btw, what trim is your car? If it has Brembo's then you'll have to worry about the rear brake clearance as well.

If it's 06+ then you'll need a minimum of 16" wheels in the rear. 03-05s are ok with 15" wheels if it's not equipped with Brembos.

I ran 15x8 w/ 4.75" backspacing and had to run a 5mm spacers & shave like 5mm off the edge of the rear calipers.. My car is an 08 w/ the standard brakes.

If I could do it over, I'd just get 16" wheels

My Z is a 03 non-brembo.

Yeah they should fit with no issue. I have similar set up 8.5 instead of 10.5 but there was plenty of room to run a wider slick. actually right now I have them for sale. take a look at it the last picture it's how it looks with the slicks on.
