SignUp Now!With these 275's, are you mounting them on stock (or other 7") rims? I want to keep a stock appearance, unfortunately 7" isn't wide enough. If you mount 275's on the 7" rim, will the tire bow?Originally posted by Kansas T
Practice and find a good track. A track with good prep will hook decent if your suspension works good. I ran a 11.92 @114 with a 1.83 60 ft on BFG radial TA 275/50/15. Tire pressures around 20 or below and big burnouts also work good. I ran 14 psi in some cheap 275/60/15's. Most people and magazines contradict that, but I race in a true radial class and that's what works best for us. I launch off of the tranny brake with about 4 psi of boost. Every car is different, you'll just have to see what yours likes. Good luck and have fun.
