Default WHAT SIZE WHEELS FOR THE STRIP???





I've been looking online for a set of DR's and was wanting to know what size i should get. They would be strictly for the drag strip so i was thinking of going with some 235/60r15 BFG's, does this sound good or should i go with something wider??

Thanks, David

Depends on the weight balance. Get a set of rims made for drag racing and around a 10.5 wide tire.

thats rediculous, a 15 offers more sidewall which is better at the track. and it would be 275-40-17 for a drag radial

mickey thompsons are amazing tires and i would suggest a 275-50-15. thats a 26" tall tire that will hook incredibly

what gears do you have? if you have a steep gear ike 4.10s you could even step it up to the 275-60-15. its 28" tall
