Ultimate Drag Wheel/Tire is Complete!!!
2 Attachment(s)
I just finished my new setup and will be testing it out Sept. 5th. I am running Voxx 17x9'' wheels with 20mm offset and Hoosier 315/35 17 DOT drag radials. Each wheel/tire combo weighs in at 54lbs. I did have to use 15mm spacers as the tire hit the inner wheelhouse. Here's some pics to enjoy...

Re: Ultimate Drag Wheel/Tire is Complete!!!

It gave me no problems with the 275/40 tires.............but the 315's are 40mm wider and have a HUGE section width on a 9'' rim. |

Mopar, you and SRTpowa got lucky with those 17x9's. I can find anyone that makes one with the 5x112 pattern. I am looking at the Voxx MG 17x8 and MT ET Street radials. Americas Tires quoted me $710 out the door this morning.

MikeR Just buy the 17x8's and have them widened to 10'' and you'll be perfect. |

I'm gonna go out Sept. 5th for open ricer race night aka Midnight Mayhem. It'll be the first time to test out my new Inmotion tune and the mega drag radials. |
Re: Ultimate Drag Wheel/Tire is Complete!!!
Wow, I like how the dirt sticks to the tires! Now that's sticky! :D I'm really thinking about those Voxx wheels for my drag set up too (17x8), but not that wide of a tire of course. Lookin' good and can't wait to see your timeslips! Good luck!

I've got 285's on my front 7.5's for autocross :eek: |
Re: Ultimate Drag Wheel/Tire is Complete!!!
nocones, don't you have rubbing problems with the 285's on the front? Or do you have spacers to get them clear?

MikeR up that spacer to 1/4", which is a little over a mm wider and it won't rub at all...that's what soloIIracer on this forum is doing...that tiny bit of extra spacer is just enough to avoid rubbing |

I went to discount tires and the guy said that the Voxx 17x8 with 20 offset won't fit my SRT6 in back... What the heck? :mad:

Discount tire guys are idiots............they only want you to run stock size/offset wheels with stock size tires(for liability issues). 17x8 with 20 offset will fit and clear everything. |
Re: Ultimate Drag Wheel/Tire is Complete!!!
just ordered my second set of hoosiers. Are you guys running them everyday? I hit the track alot more than most of you, but don't drive my car daily either. They lasted me the summer races. Looks like I'll need 2 sets to complete a season. Burnouts on the street is like burning 20 dollar bills. Remember there is only 5/32nds of thread on these hoosiers.

Re: Ultimate Drag Wheel/Tire is Complete!!!
Looks great! Let us know how they do at the track. I wish mine were a 20 mm offset. The 40mm I have makes them look too far in the fenders and I have slight rubbing on the inside of the frame/fenderwell, over big bumps.
