Hi Guys-

Right now my Capri is rolling on turbines from an '89! Help!

I want opinions on the best wheel and tire size for an early fox. I need backspace info.  I'd like to have a 15" set for the track, and a 17" set for the street. I have a five-lug conversion sitting in the garage, but I can't install it until I know what size wheels I should look for.  Fenders aren't rolled. I'm thinking 17x9 with around 6" of backspace for the street and 15 x 8 for the track.  Am I on the right path here?  

I've seen a lot of nice combos in the forums and online, but no one seems to say what the wheel specifics are.

Thanks,
Cliff
