Thumbs up New drag wheel setup

I bought 2 16inch trans am wheels from my buddy, then purchased some mickey thompson et streets (26x10.5x16) and threw them on the back for drag, let me tell you, these tires are awesome.

I did a quick half assed attempt at a burnout, and they stuck to the road so well that i only turned them over a few times then the motor started slowing down, haha. and they are wrinkle wall so run them real low like below 20psi and they will hook like crazy.

They do look a bit weird combined with my 17inch ws6 rims but not too bad for drag i guess.





let me know what you think!

Check out my f-quick while you are at it! haha VVVVlinkVVVV

The MT's look good, the tips do stick out a little to far.

I think they are a little long for me, but it's your car.

They look good but you know your running two diffrent bias tires right? I tried that at the track and it isnt such a good idea enless you like the flat tire feeling at 100mph. I would get some skinnies for the front and throw on some bias ply tires in the front.

I'd cut about an inch off of the tips, but looks great besides that
