      Tire and wheels

      I've been searching the interweb for days looking for a streetable set of summer performance tires and wheels for my 66 mustang. I've rolled the rear fender lips and massaged the inner forward portion of the wheel housing, as well as cut the fender lips on the front fenders down to a quarter inch. I want to drive the car to the track (+/- 100mi) , autocross or drag strip, and drive home on the same tires. . . . (without looking like a riceburner.)



      I'm hoping to get 235/45 on the front and 255/45 on the rear but understand I may have to go down to a 40. Currently have a set of 225/60/15 for daily use and wet weather. This extra set will be for street/track use. I'm overwhelmed by the piles of salescrap, or being stuck on a webpage based on a generic car search.

      Wheels, I'm looking for a rim that's 17X8 with 4.75 backspacing, 5X4.5 bolt pattern, and under 20lbs. Budnik really catches my eye. Anyone have suggestions? Weight is a concern.

      Tires, yikes! Talk about too much information. Looking for a good summer performance tire for the track thats street legal and will keep the cops off me without raising an eyebrow.
