Lightbulb Hoosier 335/35/17 drag radial

Has anybody tried these on 17x11's? I'm currently running the 315 nittos and am getting very little traction on street or track. I am tryin to decide between the 335 Hoosiers or buy two 16x8 wheels and buy 26x11.50x16 ET streets.

Not sure if the 335 hoosiers will fit. From what I have heard they are a little bigger than the BFG drags (which are HUGE) <---- I have these but they are pretty much useless at the track as well.... arent too bad for the street though.

My Nittos are about half gone so when it comes time for tires I'll try a set of Hoosiers.

I wish somebody made a tire the same width as the 315 Nitto but about a inch taller.

I'm not sure what size that would be? mabey 325/35/17?

LETHL_SS your car is awesome!!! How did you make the picture with your screen name and car?

How do the Mickey Thompsons 275/40/17 look on a 11" wheel?

I see you got a 1.67 60ft time. The best I could get with Nitto 315's was 2.0 If I floored it off the line I can spin them most of the way through second gear

I have the 315/35/17 BFG drag radial.... any BFG runs on the larger side. FWIW, the 275 version of the BFG is almost as big as a 315 Nitto.

Hopefully Hoosier will come out with the 315 this summer. I'll have a pair on order immediately if they do.

so a pair of 315 BFG drag radials will look wider than the 315 nittos that i currently have on the car?

Like 2" wider. BFG's are like a 325 and Nitto's are like a 285.
