just rears for now: 15x10 7.5" BS Race Star Ind. Drag Stars
They Should Be Here In a Couple Days!! Cant Wait To Race.

I want front runners so bad but theyll have to wait, maybe by the end of the season.

Those 275's are gonna be too skinny on 10" wides no?

ILuvPizzaTimes10 08-17-2011 12:11 AM

^^ i agree. 275s are more for 8's

good call those wheels look nice. were did you get em from?

SLP IROC-Z 08-17-2011 12:13 AM

theyre 26 x 11.5 x 15s, a 10" wheel works awesome with them.

LOL

Wheels look good, car should run a little quicker. Honestly if you want to keep the hugger go for it, but it would be cool to see the 3rd gen come together too.

Ya take my word for it it will be perfect. Im running the same exact tire on my 10 inch prostar. Oh and i dont even chirp a tire at the track :)

Cause the body of your car twists and takes the brunt of the power

Haha , funny john , but no. Its because that tire works perfect on a 10 inch rim. little known fact , Its actually WIDER then a 275/60 and you think those guys running x275 are on 8 inch rims? Nope:ohsnap:

My84Z 08-17-2011 02:28 AM

I figured a 9" would be perfect my 10.5 tt2's came with 275's and they are stupidly too small.

thanks guys! and yeah they may only be a "275" but they are not narrow by any means. the 255 50 16 MT ET radials on 16x8 salad shooters i borrowed from tony bulged a little bit, they would have fit better on a 9". for reference heres a pic of my 275 40 17s on 9.5" Zr1s compared to the 275 Radials.

Slowhawk 08-17-2011 02:22 PM

Alot of experts here.

My84Z 08-17-2011 04:58 PM

Sorry oh mighty guru!! :bowdown:

smokinss 08-17-2011 05:40 PM

I run a 275 60 15 on my 10s and they fit perfect and the car has been lowered too. My 27x11.5 hoosiers looked and fit even better

TrickrTreat 08-18-2011 01:55 AM

Ya don't let the numbers fool you. A MT 275/50 drag radial is wider then a
A 315 nitto. They dwarf 275 street tires. Its very confusing sometimes with Mickey's.
