I assume you meant to list your wheel size and not your existing tire size, right? That would help us help you.


But reguardless of wheel size, most everying is going to suggest either Nitto 555 R Extreme II drag raidals or BFG KDWs.

Might be better off picking up 2 17" takeoffs and mounting some 17" drag radials on there.

I have a 17" set I use for winter tires, then in the summer I pop 2 snows off and mount 2 Goodyear Eagle SS drag radials, 275/40/17.

i run mickey thompson et streets, NOT the et street radials. 26/11.50/17 i love em. stoenr what do you run for times. i dont have a picture of my car launching that late in the launch but you seem to be getting that front end pretty high. whats your hp and tq and what rpm do you launch at. sorry just want to see what others do for a technique

if you have stock 18"s you have 235/50/18 BFGs.... and they are 8.5" wide.....I put some BFG 265/40/18 DRs on mine fit nice... they are hard to find as BFG stopped making them in March. But they are the biggest size that is approved for the 8.5" rim. you can get 275/40s on and but I dont think there is a DR out there in that size.

Last dyno was 288/304. Since then added O/R-H.
Found 3000 rpm launches only yielding 2.0 60's, I could do that on my streets. Then tried 5k then was 1.85-1.9. Still need practice, Im sure 1.80 is easily doable.

Hey STOENR, are those 17" wheels the stock width?

Any problems with sidewall damage in straightline racing?

Yeah, stock width. Do damage to the sidewalls, about 16 passes on them, look as good as day 1.

Last dyno was 419.5 at the wheels and 405 tq @ 6.5 lbs of boost I just added a 3.0 pulley to the blower now 9 lbs of boost, I turned out two runs at the track of 12.44@119 and 12.49@117 60' are about 2.2 I actually had a 1.8 60' but spun through second. Before I added the 3.0 pulley I was running 12.70"s
