Honestly, I have never heard of a 20" Drag radial. I don't think the demand is high enough.

smaller sidewall equals less traction. first the 20" rim alone will never grip as well as a smaller set up but your expecting to hook with a 245 series tire also...it just wont work. save all that money and buy some 17X11's and get some 315's back there. it'll look cooler than the other set up to boot.

Why would you buy a drag rim in a 17?

thats the gayest thing i have ever heard. keep your bling bling rims for the street and when you wanna make a run throw on some 15" or 16" inch wheels with dr's. the lack of sidewall will make the 20' drs not even grip good. plus 235 is such a narrow tire. get a small wheel and run a 255 or 275 no prob

How about you your self, find out why this is a bad idea and not get spoon feed and learn more about your car..


Buy a set of stock wheels, and put a DR or a Slick of them and nevermind this nonsense...

Its like pissing in the wind

i'm getting the impression he's going for a street/strip set up since he wants 20" drag radials. so some 17's with 315s will not only grip very well but u get a more stylish look than a 15" drag rim as well. i'm not knockin the drag wheels there pretty badass but i personally wouldn't drive everyday on them
