Which Bogarts look better? Drag stars or D10s? which look better on a 2002 Pewter Z28? the car has a 1.5" drop and I have on snowflakes as a DD. this will be drag only rim BTW (the bogarts).
Thats a tough one...I like the look of the D10s better tho.
If you go on the SJM Manufacturing page, they've got a pic of a pewter car w/ the bolted D10s just so you can get an idea.

So i guess with the bogarts BS and design of the rim being exactly correct for our cars, you guys can get away with 325/50s lowered??????????
because i cant decide if i should or shouldnt lower it because of problems with fitting those tires and also true duals..
i figure if i lower the car and get 325s i can fit true duals without bumping do to the extra space the 28" tires created..
BTW i vote for BOLTED R/T's

I have
15X4 fronts
15X9.75 rears
Tell me what tires I should use (drag only) , when I DD the car it will have the snowflakes on.
Im thinkin' Hoosier bias ply skinnys in front and Hoosier slicks in the rear
tell me the size I should run please I think I Was told 26X10.5s would fit on the rear rim.
and I dunno what PSI the Norm for Slicks in the rear.
when I was using M/T et streets I had 18psi ( launching @ 5500RPM and bogging still) and Nittos I has 12 psi (launching @ 3700rpm).
Thanks

There are people running single digits on Drag Radials. Your suspension plays a big part in the hooking. If it is for race only wheels, I would go with bias ply tires as they are MUCH lighter. For skinnies up front you will be looking at 10-13 pounds per tire for bias ply and 20-25 for radials.
I don't know if you know that he abs will be out of whack if you run different size tires (overall diameter) in the front and rear.
Typically you would want a 26" tall tire on front.

well Im gonna run slicks, Im just saying will the width of a 9.75" be a problem in running single digits. My car is roughly 3400 lbs without me in it.
