Some 315 nitto 555r dr's should help you hook pretty good and have pretty good tread wear. If I can get my wheels widend I am going to get those. Alos for suspension, get some lca's and lca relocation brackets. Those are saposed to help launch alot and they are pretty cheap. Like $190 for both.

I'd either go with a 15" or 17" wheel combo so you can get a little more sidewall.

I run a ms4,150 shot ,4.30 gears ,I roll a drag set up,its not bad on the street at all just be easy on the brakes and turns and its fine,15x4 15x10 with g force drs,hooks good on the street mts are the best but they wear out fast,pretty much by the end of summer if you race a lot you will need new ones and at 190 something a tire it gets pricey

That looks like our road race wheels. Much stronger and more durable than a street/strip combination.

If you want a street/strip combo, that normally is done via 15's but there are a ton of variable as to what the end users goals will be. Give us a call if you have questions or concerns regarding any of our Bogart designs.
