Can you guys help me with rims/rubber for my H/C car..
 
I have a new set-up coming w/ a 12 bolt. I will have 4.10's.

I have Eibach Sportlines... which I do not want to get rid of. The car will see much more street driving than drag strip action.

I probably can't go 28" tall can I?? I was thinking about a set of 26" Hoosier QTP's or something from MT (street of drags).

Also what rims do you guys reccommend.. Weld, Centerline...etc.

I am not very educated with tires/rims for drag racing... so please bare with me.

Which ones need wheel studs, and which ones don't... and which rims need the grinding of the calipers??

Thanks a lot in advance... I want to get something fairly soon... because my stuff will be installed in a couple weeks.

Maybe try the Wheel section of the site?

For the rear, I would recommend 27x11.5 Hoosier QTP's on 15x10 rims (whatever you like best)

For the front, Pep Boy specials on 15x3.5 rims (whatever you like best)

If you can afford it, get the lightest rims you can get to reduce your rotational weight. I used bogards. A cheaper one convo pro which is fairly common on F bodies. The Mickey Thompson 26.10.15 slick is a good tire at the track for the track. The rear tire mention by WILWAXU is also a good tire. Cheers....

I tried and nobody gave me any replies.

Tried to search also... found some stuff but I wanted a little more input.

Thanks

Can I do the 27" tall Hoosier with the sportlines on the car?

If I were to ge the convo pro's is there anything that I need to grind/shave/pound... to make them fit?

What sizes for tires and wheels do you reccomend that are good and require the minimal amount of work to make them fit.

I know the Bogarts are good... but I do not want to spend that kind of money on drag rims.

Does SLP still sell the take-off 16" rims for $50?
