Pics of draglites with 28's I got my new ET drags mounted up and centered the best I can. It's been a PITA. But it looks cool and it should kick butt.

They rubbed the rear bumper pretty good until I trimmed it back.

I had an intirior shop cut the seat for me. Notice the slit in the bottom for the crotch strap. Works great.

Thanks JL!
mine are 275/60/R15's - comes out to a true 28" tire. Too much for me at the track since I've only got 4.22's in back, but I'm trying to snag another set of Prostars for my 26" slicks

You don't need to change tire size, you just need the th400 mod like I did, problem solved!
That tire was actually what I wanted to put on mine, but everyone talked me into sticking with a bias ply as they tend to work better on tracks that aren't prepped as well, like lvd usually is. Did you have to do any work to get them to fit other then a little hammering on the inner front portion, or did they clear with no problems? I personally want to get another set of welded r/t bogarts to put a set of those, or a similar size nitto on for street use, for the same reason you did, to drop the rpm a little... 4.10's, a th400 and 5000 converter are well.. pretty radical LOL. Not that I drive real far anyway, I would just as soon not waste the qtp's on the street, plus if a raincloud ever came overhead, the ride home wouldn't be much fun I don't think.

I didn't have to do anything to get them to fit. Just a pair of adj. LCA's
And I'd like to keep bangin' gears... My next tranny after this one is a Lenco
