All I can say is WOW. I ordered the Racestar 17x11 rears with the install kit and a pair of MT ET street SS DRs in 305/45/17. I wanted the ET street Rs but I live in FL and might get caught in the rain from time to time with them on. They were meant only for the drag strip, but holy hell they hook nice on the street. I 100% am buying a set to mount to my stock wheels. Check out the pics and the 0-60 I pulled. Car is stone stock otherwise with 2700 miles. Got the set new from dragracingwheels.com for $1500 shipped for everything. I had to mount them on my own, paid about $60 total for them to be mounted and roadforce balanced. The car absolutely hooks like a monster on the street. Im super impressed. Im going to buy a set of the 20's for the stock wheels. I need these in my life not just for the track. This car is wild with traction.

Very nice. I'll be needing a set of those when my build is done.

Wonder how that offset would look on the 300? Kind of a wide body.

How was delivery time?

I've run that tire on my Hellcat, and I ran it on my Mustang and Chevelle, too. I've driven home in pouring rain with them a few times. Gotta be careful, of course, but manageable. I ran usually 20-22 psi at the track with them with the hellcat. You can drive them on the street, but they wear faster than some of the other drag radial type street tires, like nittos.

For me they worked good at the track but they aren't as consistent as the R tire is. But it's a great tire, imo, and a really good compromise if you have to drive to the track and if rain could be an issue.

Your car looks sharp. Love the black wheels with that red.

Thanks guys. Delivery time was about a week.

Yeah I dont want to bring a bunch of crap to the track to swap tires so I will be driving on them back and forth. Thats all I wanted out of them, but wow they are great on the street too.

How does the car drive overall with stock tires in the front and drag radials in the rear? Does it feel loose on the road?

I couldn’t tell a difference at all except for all that extra traction. Otherwise they feel same as stock. Quiet too.

I love that setup!! I am about to do the same thing with my car, 18' NB HC Charger. I will be doing a WB conversion and the new wheels.

Where did you buy them from?

I missed it, you put the older, smaller brakes on your car?

Nope no need. No changes to the car.

I thought our 21's came with the trackhawk calipers that don't fit 18" and under?

Never heard that. And the wheels fit perfectly. No rubbing anywhere.

 

[furious70]

Maybe it's just the fronts and cop wheels and such won't work for winter rims

I have both types, I have MT Street SS on my 20s and then I have a pair of Dark stars with MT Street Rs . I like the Street SSs better.

 

[18Hellcat1]

Could take on a Plaid with those numbers

Great setup Op and what an improvement in traction over stock tires for sure. I thought you sold the Cat?

That deal fell through and I’m glad it did. It would have been impossible to find a replacement.

Curious to know why you like the MT ss better than the r's? Don't the r's hook better?

I like the MT SSs for the simple fact that we can drive around and not worry about rain. I have been on the road in the rain with the Rs and it was brutal dangerous, sliding everywhere. They dont really hook different in my experience on the street anyway, maybe at the track but day to day its not a noticeable difference. (Plug - I am going to be selling my darkstar 17x9.5 wrapped in MT Rs 305s).
