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.

If you are going to pay for premium racing wheels, at least get some that stand out. Bolted R/T wheels:

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.

Yeah Im running 26"s rear and I think 26 in front. Bias ply both of em, since its drag only.

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.

Thank 3pt SFCs, Moser 12 bolt and chrome moly Torque arm in adding extra weight. though I have an aluminum FW, Aluminum DS, removed AIR and will install a K member in a few months when I do H/C
