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...

Looking Good !.... Please give us a update after your track runs. Good Luck! Don

 

That is sick~ Keep us posted!

 

those look great, i would have thought with the 20mm offset you would have had no problems.

 

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.

 

oh okay, makes sense.

 

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.

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

 

how soon can you get it to the track?

 

How the heck did you fit 315 rubber on a 9 inch tire?!?! However you did it, good job, and good luck!

 

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.

 

Wow, I like how the dirt sticks to the tires! Now that's sticky! 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!

 

not that hard if the sidewall is not that stiff (which I wouldn't think it would be on a drag tire).

I've got 285's on my front 7.5's for autocross

 

nocones, don't you have rubbing problems with the 285's on the front? Or do you have spacers to get them clear?

with a 5mm spacer and a stock size wheel, the inside shoulder does rub on the ball joint bolt...cuts a very shallow groove in the shoulder...that's how I'm running right now

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?

 

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.

 

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.

 

That's what I thought and exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks!

 

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.
