@drag racer whats wrong she ran a 10.6 wobblin
It looks like you are asking for advice after the fact.
That is the wrong offset for that car. For that reason, you are limited to a 305 or 10.5 width. On good prep with the proper burnout and tire pressure the current tire/setup should hook. I would switch to the the ET Street R's when these wear out.
Get the correct rim and the sky is the limit on tire choices.
Just so you know, I run a setup similar to this : Narrow Body rim on a wide body : but it is because they are expensive BS Win Lights and I only use this small tire setup to set personal bests on max race prep. The reason is, I already had the rims and they are expensive and they were paid for. So I dedicated them for this purpose. And they may offer a very slight aerodynamic advantage. They look goofy, but it's not that bad.
Imo the front looks way more goofy than the rear
It’s too bad no one makes a affordable 17 for the flare cars that’s light, wide, and has the correct offset. Maybe a 12 w 6.25 back space? 309’s and that new 3578 on a 11 or 12 would work great on a car w flares

I had a 1.49 60 foot and I have the ET R’s. Car really hooks and the car also seems to enjoy the higher RPMs due to the lower tire
What’s your best quarter-mile and is your car stock?
I don't have that car any more. I traded it on a Demon. It ran 9.95 in Houston in negative DA. With a TCM tune to LOWER the shift points it ran 9.90. It was hitting the rev limiter and I did not want to send the PCM in to get it unlocked.
Man you sound like you know so much what you’re talking about what does it mean when it hits the rev limiter
Post pictures of your demon and is that car faster
In the really good conditions the car was making more power than normal. So, it was over revving in first and second gears before that transmission could shift. So the PCM was closing the throttle to keep the car from over revving.
Gotcha . And I just realized the tire guy installed the wrong tires I ordered et-r he gave me ss. I’m pisses. The ss really seamed to hook though. How much of a different do you think the 1/4 time is ?
Of course the Demon is faster. Set up pretty much the same way the Demon went 9.56 @ 141. Both the Demon and the Super Stock were completely stock power.
Yes those are the same wheels and tires off the Super Stock.
What made it faster the race gas?
Carlos meant
car look mint buddy congratulations. So how much slower will the ss’s be back the et-r in 1/4 mile?
When Houston is good (not hot n humid) man is it quick
A bunch quicker than that joke of a track yer at in the pic. 4 lane drag strip. Pfff. Bruton Smith was on drugs. Hate to admit it but when I heard of his passing that was my first thought. Too bad the conversion at Vegas had already been paid for and started on. The cooling system is nice but come on.. Adding lanes to a drag strip is as wrong as referring to roll racing as street racing ha
