Default New Wheels Draglites & 325s on Red SS

Finally got a chance to grind my calipers and put my draglites on. I am running 15x8 rears with 325/50/15 BFG Drag Radials. The BFGs seemed narrow and measured 11.5 from edge to edge when mounted and inflated. The only clearance I did was remove the bump stop. No BFH mod was needed.
Please excuse how dirty the car is in these pics

Never liked Draglites but look pretty awsome on your car. How do you think the BFGs will hook up for ya? Are you auto or 6 speed?

Jesus I thought my car on prostars was low in the front.

this is how my car sat and it scraped like hell in the front and rubbed the **** out of the rears with 325's



good luck driving that thing on the street lol.

surprised yours fit, I had to cut the bumpstops, roll the fenderwells and beat the inner wells to **** and they still rubbed while driving.

IM looking at a Cragar s/s 17x8 front 225/50R17 and 15X12 rear 325/50R15 for my TA ($1512.55 sipped), What i need for wheel spacers and do i need a lot of BFHing with a QA1 coil over conversion? i can adj my rear pretty high and stiff with them.

The stance looks pretty good overall, but those 325's don't look right on 8" wheel. Nice car btw.

Looks good, but that rake is not efficient at all for drag racing.
