i was wondering what size drag radials will fit the stock ss tc wheels?
edit: lol thanks

 

edit 4 you

 

245 40 18 mickey thompson et streets

 

Has anyone done 17's with spacers or found a 17 that will fit?

 

somebody on here said that he put the 2.4l ss 17's on and they fit without spacers yet th18's from the SS S/C dont fit but i think thats what im gonna go with for my drag radials

 

edited for you. ( i hate "rims")

those would be 245/40/18 ET Street Radial II's. ET Street Radials only go up to 17". II's go up to 18

 

I am looking at some bfg drag 225/45/17's that should do the trick.

 

soo...you want a drag radial... but you don't want a lot of it? why would you get a 225/45

 

I think a 224 would hook just fine. Once I get a bit over the 300hp range I would go full slick. I have pulled 2.2 60' times on stock tiers. Were do you guys buy your slicks?

 

i got a 2.19 60'

can you get me a link to those M/T et streets

 

Here is a link for whoever wants to look into the MT's.

i'ld personally go with either of those on a light weight 16".

 

I dont think a 16" will fit

 

ahh nevermind, forgot it was for the tc. then go with the 18" street radial II's.

A drag tire like the BFG's are called "axle snappers" for a reason, they're as close as you can get to a slick for\with good street driveability and last about 4500-6500 mi .

 

Anytime man!!

 

First off it's all they make in their largest 17" tire.
BFG stops at 225/45-17 then it's up to the 18's and they start at a 275 series.... MT has the only tire reasonable in size to\for a stock SS\TC wheel......245\40-18

The BFG's are real sticky and you don't need a wide tire you need a tire made to grip, like a "pitbul on the neighbors arm" kind of grip and BFG's are as close as a slick with good milage wear. Plus the wider you go the more rolling wind resistance is created, you dont want to big or to thin a tire up front even on front whl drive...
I personally 'am looking to do a wheel downgrade to 17" so I can stuff some BFG's aka: "axle snappers" on my car...With the only street DOT drag tire on the planet to earn that kind of nick name.. you don't need a wide tire, just know how to warm them up and that's all she wrote... these puppies will stick nearly as goos as a slick.... I've tried every DOT Drag radial on the planet in high powered front drivers and rear drivers and I will not do anything other than BFG's and the second\last choice are MT's

 

i know what all they make. i can read their site. i just made the mistake of not reading that this was in the LNF section. lay off man.

i guess you didn't read my posts to follow either then

 

Does anyone know the specs on the 17" SS wheel asfar as offset, smallest spacer required and such. Or mabe even another 17" that will work better and be lighter and cheaper. I was looking at some 17" adr wheels on ebay that are cheap but not sure if the off set is better or worse.

Venomous:42 off set

Interspeed: 42 off set, 20lbs

 

well can you post up a link to the bfg drs

 

You can check pretty much any tire site but here is a link to tirerack.com.

 

The M/T radials ARE better than the BFG's. Don't waste your time with BFG's.

 

well i have all diff opinions..............

 

Find a site with faster cars and ask them. You will see that they use M/T. There is a reason for that.
