Looks badass Please let us know how they hook when you get to the track

My Drag Radials will be tested at the Nats this year.The only time my car will see the track before then is to get my liscense.Or maybe a track rental.
I need to get my liscense before i can hit any tracks around here,Got kixked out of all 3 last year

Otto: How do you think the 325/50's would fit on a 15x10" wheel with 5" backspacing? I don't have a "deep" enough frame notch to accomodate a 5.5" backspacing and that width tire.

Do you have any other pictures showing the tire and its relationship to the fenderlip?

Thanks a lot,
-Banning.

Banning, 5" is the was yo fly,I got tied up in a rim fiasco that led me to the 5.5s,I had to use aluminum drums and a 1/4 spacer to put the wheel righ at the lip with it rolled.

Thanks!

Otto do you plan on testing these out sooner than BG, I have 275/60/15 BFG Drag's on my car and they suck

At 50mph and nail it, it leaves two deep black marks on the road. I was looking into these and also Hoosier's.With the HR bar in, it really plant's the rear to the ground, I need a killer tire to hook

 

[Otto J]

I used them in BG on TUesday.
at 20#s of boost i was running 10.00 at 133 with a
1.42 60 ft
I cant say they hook on the street as i have not really tried.
But these are biger than your they have an 11" tread pattern

I ordered a set of 325/50/15 MT Drag Radials today & Centerline Warrior 15x10 w/5" backspacing rear wheels.

I will post my results once they are on the car.

Why, just for looks? You'll just get more air up under the car.

1.42 60' on the M/T Drag Radials? On a 10.0 pass? Holy shiat, nice job.

Are the M/T's in your size TSM-legal? The 12.5" sidewall designation rule for DOTs is a little vague.

Thanks...

NOt sure if SM legal,But i also left with only around 6#s of boost of thte brake.Any much more than that and they spun.
Front itres more for look,But also becasue the nose was on hte ground.
