but 17s in the rear are not the best for the track , still the best looking drag set up though ,

I am debating on getting a set of 17's for the rear for cruising.. Not in the mood to drop a grand for rears at the moment though, but we'll see.. But everytime I walk out to the garage and take a peek, I don't see a reason for 17's in the rear.. It's a different look and isn't for everybody.. I was unsure of it until I put them on..

O.N.

is that a radial or a bias ply front tire?
what brand tire?

Radial.. M&H

The setup looks great, but why not a 28" tire out back? You'll cut a better 60' on em.

Someday.. I need to do ABS delete, get a new rear, then will prob do 28's.. I had the 26's in the basement. I have cut a 1.50 60' with the 26's.. It was shortly after that I knew I had met the limits of my 10 bolt..

that looks really good.
Notice any handling difference between the 15 to the 17?

I see you have the M&H 185/55/17 on the front, and think you had MT Sportsman SR's for the 15's what size were thouse? Both rims 4.5 wide?

Looks great!!! I thinking about a new look and was wondering what weldstar rts would look like on my car, now I have a pretty good idea.

OIF1VET

iTrader: (54)

Yes, MT SR's up front(26x6), they were on a 3.75 rim initially, then a 4" rim.. I didn't get much drive time on the 17's, but I did not notice any difference..


Should look good! Quality rim as well.. Very impressed with the workmanship on them...

cool, if you drive it more check on that.
I have the 15x3.5 greag weld with the 165 nexen radails. (the cheap $140 set) and they dont handle that well. I know could get some better tires like thouse SRs but thinking about getting rts for street wheels (17 front) if they handle better.

I won't know anything til next year.. Car is put away for the season.. I drove it on the highway and in town before I put it up, I am sure the 17's will be just fine.. My friend ran this exact rim and tire combo on his 3rd gen all year with out any issues..
