Default Getting 12 bolt with 383, which tires?

Well, I got tired from not hooking at the track! I ordered a 12 bolt from TR with a 3.83. I am going to spray at least 150 shot!

What ET street size to get (26 or 28)? Also, what wheels to get?

Thanks!

The biggest ones that will fit. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

For Drag wheels I like the Telestars <img border="0" alt="[pimp]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_pimp.gif" />

With your power on the 382 and the 150 Gemini shot, you're probably get recommendations to look at the ET Street/Drag 28s to provide the best absorbtion of the spray shock at launch.

Wheels are a prefernce thing. The Centerline Convo Pros (15x7.5" /5(lug) 4.75 pattern 5" back spacing) will fit nicely in the wheel well with no grinding of the rear calipers. They will also offer more flexibilty in tires going from the 26 ETs Streets/Drags, 27 Hoosiers QTPs or 28 Hoosier/ETs Streets/Drags.

I have the 15x8.5" /5(lug) 4.75 pattern 5" back spacing Convo Pros on now with the MT ET Drag 26.0x10.0x15 and thats a lot of tire. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> It does hang about 1" outside the well. The equivilent ET Street would be teh 26.0x11.5x15 I believe.

So I might be able to mount the Hoosier QTP 27x11.5x15s but I don't think eith MT ET Drags or Hoosier Drags 28.0x9.0x15 can be mounted without some bumper cutting.

Welds are nice wheels too but they require some grinding to get them to fit properly. The biggest properly backspaced wheels would be the Bogarts which are more expensive too.
