This is the drag setup that you will need if you want to run full drag slicks. I think I am the only person who is running full drag slicks. If you decide to go this route, you will need to install a drive shaft hoop as well as that is manditory when running slicks.
Very impressive. Are you spraying out the hole? And who makes a drive shaft loop for the car?
yes, spraying out of the hole. Nobody makes a drive shaft loop for the car. You will have to find a performance shop to make a custom one for you. Cost me $400 for the drive shaft loop.
Will be testing these RE-30 18x9.5 +43 at the drag strip in about 2 weeks. Tires 280/650r18 Yokohama A005. Test fitted rear set on front to, so you can see the 280 wide fit the front pretty well also.
I don't go to the drag strip, but I do go to the track. I have always run mustang wheels on my track cars (currently ISF, previously 350z) because they usually fit, they're cheap and I can always find someone to sell them to if I sell the car.
They're AMR (American Muscle Racing?) 18x8 +30 front and 18x10 +48 rear with 245/40 front, 275/35 rear. Bought all wheels and tires on eBay for about $1,000.
Call me crazy, but I think the set I bought for the ISF actually look pretty good on the car. After I replace the "American Muscle" center caps I think you'd be hard pressed to spot them as mustang wheels.
i actually think these 'stang wheels look good on the F. I wonder if hubcenteic rings are needed for these to fit properly tho?
Currently running old skool Advan RGs in gold. 18 x 9.5 / +45 w/245/40 ET Streets. And just bought a pair of 17 x 10 / + 55 Weds SA72R "Wide Spec" in black. 19.8 lbs with plenty of brake clearance on the rear, and available from CL vendor Speedfreaks.
im considering getting rear drag radials M/T ET Street S/S 285/35R19, since tire radius only goes from 13.01" to 13.43" when compared to stock tires. I also considered using an 18" wheels/tires but the only available tire size is 275-45R18 M/T ET Street SS and the radius goes to 13.87". http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-...5R18/285-35R19
if i go with 19 I can reuse a pair of 19" Enkei GTC01 i have, but was wondering if tire will rub or if the increased radius will affect 1/4 mile times.
You want to put a drag radial on and you also want it larger than stock....
If you go 3 sizes bigger will it interfere with suspension etc...
I have used these tires on a different vehicle and had to go down one inch...to an 18 and up one width, lets say 235 to a 245. I was worried I wouldn't get the grip I wanted. Nope, these tires stick at the track. These are only street legal cause they put these little groves in them. I would not advise running them on the street.
At the track they were great. You don't need to go really big to get results. Yes size does affect 1/4 mile times. There are lots of places that will tell you the affects of the wrong size, not only time but speed as well.
Edit...After reading Bakewalks post I think the tires I used were actually called cheater slicks, Not the drag radials. I still stand by the increased traction you will get with the drag radial, but for maximum traction get the ones Bakewalk suggested, put them on a set of wheels and away you go!
You'll get more sidewall without increasing diameter with 275/40R17s. And there's lots of high offset 17s available with our 5 x 114.3 (4 1/2") bolt circle (same as Mustang).
