they sell longer studs and spacers just for that very reason. I know Jegs has them.

I'm pretty sure that 6.5" backspacing works very well on SN95's.

He needs a 6.5bs with a 10" rim. Any type of spacer would make his problem worse.

Thanks everyone... I ordered pro stars 15 x 10 6.5 BS in the rear and some skinnies up front....The tires I'm still stuck on...want the m/t drag radials 275/50/15's but wonder if they will survive any street driving...dont want to replace them every 2 k miles. Anyone with experiance with these?on the street and track?Thanks again

Up front to run the skinnies you will need a spacer and you will need to grind your brakes down just a bit. You will need to grind down the bar that runs under neith the brake caliper( I don't know if that makes since) I would recomend running longer studs up front just for saftey reasons also

Cincy Speed has what you need!

When you put the longer studs in you may have to Knock the paint off of the fat end of the stub (there is a name for these) to get them to pull in alittle easier. I used an Impact gun and a stock lugnut to pull mine in the front. If you plan on doing the rear studs too you will problay have to pull the axles. Man ole Man got to love the smell of rear end grease:barf:

Last a year!:lol:
Is it daily driven, or just occasionally driven on the street?

I usaully make a set of street tires last about 8-9 months. Nitto DRs usually last me 5-6 months. I had a set of MT 275/50/15 DRs on my Cobra for a month and a half and they were toast:eek: (the car sat for almost two weeks during that time with a broken input shaft).
