Default 15 Inch hoosier slicks on a 07???

Hello all,
I just got a sweet hook up for used cirle track slicks from a friend. I know there not ideal but there free and if I could make em fit I better get a driveshaft loop... Does any one know of how to make the 27.0/10.0/15 fit? what kind of offset would be needed? Will it clear the brakes?
It would be nice to get some grip and beat my 13.6
Thanks

I tried to fit 15" rims on my S197.... it failed..

I believe only bogart 15" clear the rear brakes.

I do have sone 275/40/17's mounted on cobra r rims if your interested. Worked awesome on my GT

I kept the spare tire in the back and maybe another 20lbs and a full tank and nothing but spin. I'm gonna try leaving on a raised idle via tuner and ive gotta look into those bogarts. how much would you say a pair is worth????

A set of bogarts will run you around $1500 to $1700 depending on what you get.

I used my slicks no problem...

Ran 10 times with not a single issue, although i could tell the clutch was getting a bit heated at the last run because i hot lapped her 3-4 times.

Bogarts are not worth it to the everyday dragger. I mean, i'd sell you my slicks for 399 a fraction of the ridiculous 1800....
