Help me find a drag radial please!!!!!!

[jdpolzin]

Ok guys, I have a set of 18x10's with 315/30R18 on the rear with 5.5" backspace. I also have a set of 15x10/s with 5.5" backspace that I need to find a drag radial with about the same dimensions as the 315/30R18's. The closest thing I can find is the 275/50R15's but they are 1.5" narrower. I want one that is 26" tall and 12.5"ish wide for a15" rim. Any help????

Here is the spec sizing for BFG's on the tirerack web site.
Tire Specs for BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial 2

Seems like you are going to have a hard time getting what you want, but maybe the 325/50 15, and do a few burnouts and they will down to the right diameter before ya know it.:tongue:

Yeah I checked both of those sites and can only find the 275/50r15's. They must not make anything 26" tall and 12.5" wide?? I checked Nitto's also.

The only thing I found that size was for the 18" rims at the bottom of the page

To find a tire that wide(12.5") you'd have to go to a 28" tire in a 15" tire.

:biggrin: . Here's one that's 26" in diameter is 11.5" wide and should be mounted on a 10" rim and it goes for $167. A friend of mine swears that these M&Hs HOOK up.:biggrin: It is D.O.T. approved and is called a Cheater Slick. Forgot to mention you need tubes with this tire. Has the minimalist tread design or lack of, just a couple groves here and there just like the Mickey Thompsons

Yeah t the same dimensions as the 275/50R15's. Where did you find those online?

They do have a390/45r/15 Drag Radial Tread width 12.1" but it's a tall mutha. Nitto makes an 18" drag radial 555r 305/35r/18 just under 26' diameter.

Now thats a big meat!! I'm going to see how much room I have! I may be able to make those work for the strip!

OK nevermind, those are GI-NORMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definately wont work! Looks like my only options are the MT 275/50R15 or the MH 26x11.5R15. looks like the Mt are a bit wider than the MT's though.
