Who said anything about DRs?

That's racing. Breaking means it needed upgraded.

IIRC, just under 300

I doubt I'm going to have the time to run it again this year. I have big plans for next year though.

What would yall recommend? Bigger set of rims with drag radials? Drag radials on my stocker?

Bias ply slicks on an 8' wide rim. Thats my recommendation.

rfcsoulja · October 20th, 2011, 02:53 PM

^ Thats what I'm going to do. 15x8 with a 26" tire.

im going to try out the hoosier drag radials on a 8 inch rim this weekend mounted on prostars

we will see how they hook

The Hoosiers DRs hook great. They'll actually wrinkle some, and they're crazy soft.

rfcsoulja · October 20th, 2011, 05:38 PM

What back spacing should I be looking for?

mrbigjeep · October 21st, 2011, 07:56 PM

i like the hoosier qtp's...bias ply and dot legal

15x8=5.5BS
15x10=6.5BS
