Why would you have to run a 28" tall tire? There are 26" tires as well.....

who makes a drag radial wide 15'' and 26''?

M&H 275 /50 /15 is 26 inches. I dont know if thats wide enough for the "look" but must hook very well.

Exactly why in the end I stuck with 17s.

They no longer make the CCW classic 17x4.5 front runner... They replaced it with the SP20 1 piece rim...

17x4 front 17x11 rear, just bolt them on,
i am having them build me a set of 16" for the rear
now to run a 28x10 or 26x10 slick, then i will need to swap to c-6 base rear brakes, to much $ to do the 15"
spindels, i think the 16" will be close enough

for rear yes, 17" stays in front
99% of all ol 10.5 cars are on a 16" wheel, hey why not give it a shot

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 02:04 PM

yea i hate the way the car feels with a slick..... they dont make much for drag radials in a 16 either

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 02:17 PM

cant believe no one likes these.......... black or chrome these are actual the c140s cause c14 you cant run center caps

The spindles for 15" are around 1400 bucks. You gain a share of that back becaue 15 inch wheels and tires are considerably cheaper than 17. You also have a bigger selection of tires.

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 02:56 PM

not those beadlocks lol all i run is hoosiers they are about 200-250 no matter what i get............ plus those alumastars are like $600 each plus adapter kit lol fml spindle route is about 1000-1200 more $$ then any ccw

SS MPSTR 02-12-2013 03:42 PM

Kinda pricy, but why not a set of Bogart d-10's?

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 03:57 PM

love the d10s but bolted no so much

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 04:59 PM

Turbosixx 02-12-2013 06:04 PM

Those are EXTREMLY popular, as the 18x13 can also be used for road racing as well as drag racing, and clears the rear brakes on ZR1's as well. Hoosier makes a 315/30/18 drag radial that comes in at 25 lbs...not bad for an 18" tire.

ajw2500hd 02-12-2013 07:28 PM

That's what I am thinking
