Does any body make a drag slick for a 17/11" rim (not) a drag radial ,i have try every DR out there and can not hook up, or am i going to haft to buy a set of 15's" rim .I had my rear WS6 rim's widened to 11" hopping it would help but no luck at all ,lonched at every rpm and changed gears from 3:42 , 3:73 , 3:91 ,4:10 .I've got all ajustable suspision , shocks, torkarm, pan hard rod, control arms,this Forged 348cid has alot of tork ,and i have a pro fogger on top of that but have not got to use it yet because of my traction problem

just get either 15 or 16 inch rims. The bigger sidewall will help a lot with traction

Mickey Thompson has some 17" ET streets that will fit a 11" wide wheel

And I just check the mickey thompson website and they make 26X11.50-17 et streets, which would fit on your stock 17x9s. Maybe you could find someone selling their stock wheels or willing to trade. Hope this helps
