Drag Wheel

So I'm kinda looking into this, but I want a 15, that I wouldn't have to grind on the rear Caliper, and are a pretty descent price, and not sure how wide I could go with without rolling my fenders or tubbing it at all (I don't wanna do that!) Id plan on running 28 inch Slick with those wheels.

I heard Convo Pro's will work, but will anything else?

Bogarts only thing I can think of as the other options, read that the new greg welds dont fit in the rear.

Just grind the calipers. It's no big deal.

let us know when you fit that 28 without touching anything

edit: you said slick, so make that a 29 (tire growth)

Then would a 26 be better for my app? I think any slick would hook harder than the DR's.

No the rear bumper is not touched and its just the bump stop's ground down just like we did to Shane's care, and from reading, with my gears looks like I should stick with 26's

Go with a MT drag radial. They hook and wont really grow. I would either do a 275/50/15 (26") or a 275/60/15 28". I have MT Et Drags, 28x10.5 right now, but I want to switch to a 275/60.
