Default M6 guys. Whats your tire, size and 60' ?

What brand and size tires are you using at the strip and what is your 60'?
Is anybody having luck on 17" rims?
Have any of you guys run the
26/11.5/17 ET Street non radials?
275/40/17 ET Street Radial?
275/40/17 Hoosier Drag Radials?

I dont have alot of money left just dropped $3000+ on rearend, ds and suspension. 9' locker and 4.10's

Should I go with a set of cheap OEM 16" rims to get more sidewall?

I am going to get some Billet Street Lites as soon as I can but until then want something to race with.

26" tall ET Drag, no ET street or radials

on 15 x 8 convo pro

Pulled both wheels. Makes about 380-390 rwhp. Needs shocks and some other tweaks.

Do the convo pros clear the brakes or do they require grinding. I really dont want to grind the calipers?
I cannot run ET drags in the street class I am going to run. Thanks for the input.

Feel free to review.

No Grinding what so ever.

Worked fine for what I was doing but I expect with a bottle and more power to need a wider rim and that is where you get into Caliper issues where I need a Bogart.
