Just as the title says...........whats the biggest DR that can be fit on a stock 16" salad shooter in a stock wheel well???

Thanks!!!

 

I was extensively looking into this about a month ago. I came up with a 295/50/16

This was the tire I was going to try out: http://www.jegs.com/i/Hoosier/522/17...oductId=760685

I figured it would be sweet for a street/sleeper setup on some salad shooters.

Edit: I remember some people saying they needed to do the BFH mod, others said they did not. Cannot say for certain what it would be for an individual's case.

 

295 wow I was thinking 265 would be about the limit. I was planning on running 255s on mine.

 

Yeah, some people were saying that it is dangerous, etc. But the people who actually USE them say they work well and have seen some pretty low short times on them. If time and money permits I may give them a shot.

 

I like the Hoosiers a lot and have made a bunch of 1.46 sixties on a 17inch rim so I know those would work killer.


On the 17's

 

Nice launch! It's too bad they don't make skinny front rims to match my ROH rims. I have an extra set of ROH's that I'm gonna put 295's on.

 

Badhawk do you mind posting tire size of the 17 in tires?

Im currently running 315/35-17 and I want to replace them next week and have been think of M/T or hoosiers

 

Thanks.


They are the same size as yours 315/35/17 but I would look at the M&H racemaster tires you can get a 28in tall tire 325/45/R17 on a 17in rim instead of the typical 26in tall sidewall.

They are pricey though.

 

Mike, M&H site says this tire will fit on a 10in wide rim and would be badass 28in tall sidewall.

315/50R16

 

Im not sure what size tire im going to since I am currently running 4.10 gears on my new turbo set up and will be swapping to a new gearing. But the M/T look pretty good and worked well on my Vette.

 

Keep in mind to that a taller tire will effectively change your rear gear ratio also.



Sorry for the high-jack Mike

 

Haha np.....go for it....information is goodddddd......besides like I've neva hijacked one of u guys before? Lol

 

i had 12.50/28 mt on welds with a little hammering and filling down the bottoming out rubber thing they worked great didnt even roll my fenders

 

So a 295/50/16 will work on a sald shooter? Damn all I got is tiny 245´s. Little bastards hook tho!

 

Damn!!!! seriously, someone out there has to be running these on salad shooters. speak up

 

A quick google search will yield quite a few members on here using that size tire on factory 16x8 wheels. Not necessarily a salad shooter, but same exact size wheel (98+ factory camaro wheels).
