A different drag wheel setup *pics*
Have yet see anyone try the American Racing "PRO Series" Trakstar wheels...they looked like something I like so I picked up a set.
Here is the wheel after mounting my 28x10 tire:
They are 15x10x5" BS
A local car under construction already has a narrowed rear, so I wanted to see how much I could get away with. So we mounted my new drag wheels on his car.
Measurements have been made and my new rear has been ordered. Narrowed 9" with a backbrace, aluminum center section and spool
Only difference will be is I have a slightly softer rear spring so the car will sit about ~1/2" lower in the rear

they are about the same price as weld alumastars (same category wheel...high-end dragrace) about 345/ea.
That rear was narrowed 3 3/4" per side...I'm going with the same.
