Thanks I'll probaly end up going 17 all the way around just wanted to get some opinions and possibly pics, car will be raced often with 700+ hp 440
What did you end up going with, tire selection does suck for 17" rim that's why I was considering using a 15 in the rear to run the Hoosier dot radials I want
In the front I have wilwood p/n 140-10740 12.19" rotor with 6 piston caliper rear is same rotor with 4 piston caliper. Requires 7.15" of clearance. im wondering if I use a .5" spacer in the front if it would work. I only need a c**t hair to clear the caliper
Is that a 15" or 17" wheel on there now?
It's a 15".. it's so close to fitting and I love the look Im really thinking just run a spacer on the front.
Damn that looks good, you have it mini tubbed?Best I could come up with is M/T 315/60-15 ET Street Radial Pro. On a 12" rim should be about 13.5 section width, 30" Tall. Pro version is NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE but talked to Mickey and the tech said it uses the same R2 compound as the ET street S/S and ET Street R, So wear would be about the same, just not much tread depth but my car will never see the rain so I don't care.
That's exactly what I was going to suggest. A nice set of driver rims and a cheaper set of 15"s with slicks. I wouldn't think the 17s would be as good for drag racing?
Anyone against running a spacer I the front? I have 3" chromoly wheel studs. Really trying to exhaust all options to use a 15
Depends on the rims, some rims center themselves on the studs alone which would be fine, others rely on the center hub.
I'm not a fan of spacers but as long as they're not overly thick I think you'd be alright.
