Big and little drag rims package for 1/4 mile

[Evil87GN]

Kind of a crappy pic, but Race Star type 94 combo. 17x7 fronts with 215/65 tires, rears 17x9.5 with 275/40 NT05 radials. I have a set of 295/45 M/T ET Street radials going on Monday or Tuesday. Those will fill the gap nicely, plus a true 27" tall tire vs 25.6" NT05.

I'll get better pics once the MT get mounted.

Most go with the 17" track setup

Wheel wise, the Racestars are 17x9.5, the Welds are 17x10 I believe.

Here are a couple of popular tire choices:

295/45-17 MT ET Street Radial II
http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetRadialII

This tire is 27.4" tall

Or the 305/45-17 ET Street R
http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetR

This is a 28" tire, and if you plan on big power, this will be the best bet. They are currently on back order because err'one wants them.

For the Front runners, I personally went with the MT Sportsman S/R 6677 tire. 26" tall 6" wide. Perfect for a 17x4.5 front runner

Better pic of the Race Stars with the 295/45 ET Street radials mounted. 7" fronts with 215/65's...MT are on 9.5" rears.

Looks good. If you like those MT 295/45/17 drag radials then you better buy a set now. MT does not make that size anymore but there are still a few sets floating around for sale

I found the last pair that were available in Jacksonville...lol. I like how they fill the fender gap on a stock height car, and they have to be an improvement over the NT05's I was running. 25.5" vs 27"....yeah, wonder which one will work better..lol.

I ended up getting race stars for my car with m&h tires. 275-50-17 rears and front runners.

Thanks man.. here's a few more pics

How does your car drive with the front skinnies? Mine feels sketchy! Lol. I just installed the same set of wheels except mine are all 4 17" wheels. I have a 28/6/17 front MT sportsman tire and 325/45/17 rear M&H

 

[Jeff_oddo]

race star 17" wheels. MT Sportsman 28/6/17 front tires and M&H Racemaster 325/45/17 rear tires

 

[perfweld]

That looks really good Jeff with the tall front tire. I am gonna do the same, just got my 17" wheels and have been trying to figure out what actual front tire to use. Can you tell me which part # you used on the front, I cant find it. Thanks, looks great and will probably work really good.
