Will I be able to hook on a 17" DR or Nitto?
Will I be able to hook on a 17" DR or Nitto? Will I be able to hook on a 275/40/17 BFG DR or Nitto? Mods are in sig, raceweight is ~3500, and 4.10s (possibly 4.30s <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> )in the 12 bolt. Any hope at all of hooking on a 17" DR or Nitto? What is your best 60ft and ET on a 17" DR or Nitto? Thanks, Shawn

Re: Will I be able to hook on a 17" DR or Nitto? just a matter of track prep, but with your mods drag radials more than likely wont cut it! You are atleast gonna have to try et streets.
Ive been 1.58's on 16 inch nittos stock intternally, but with my cam ive only been 1.64. Its harder to find a medium to launch and feather the gas with the more mods you have. You also have a M6 so its gonna be VERY hard to hook on drag radials.

I'm going to ET streets this season 28-10.5-15 on 15X8 Telstar 13 wheels. I usually cut 1.80's to 1.90's 60' dumping the clutch from 3750 rpm.

Re: Will I be able to hook on a 17" DR or Nitto? Sorry i don't agree with kazman about 275/40/17
drag radials not hooking . I run nitto's and had
bfgs,both hooked great for me-all stock except 150 wet kit and i hook to a 1.7 sprayin off the line. i think they hook fine. But then again i am not a m6 either. Good luck on your traction quest. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Will I be able to hook on a 17" DR or Nitto? The more gear you do, the worse it gets.
I think you can probably hook a 1.8 on DR's, maybe get some QA1 front shocks they will help a lot.
