I have a set of drag wheels for sale in the for sale section that would work for you.

You will not break anything on a 235 slick. I am running a 27X10.50 ET Street, and have made about 45 passes already this year and no problems at all with the stock rear end with 4.10 gears.

I know it prob won't last forever but I have not had a problem at all with the stock axles running ET Streets, launching on a 5 spd. (knock, knock, knock on wood)...

They are pretty narrow....

Stock stall? No problem. You probably don't even need slicks brah.

Just try to break that 2.2 60'!

like said, just get a set of stock rims and throw some ET radials on there or hell ET slicks. If your asking on which slick/tire to run at the track, guys are just telling you what will hook which is what you will need. If your afraid of breaking something, then build your rear first and then come back and ask about what rims/tires

I was 5500 clutch dropping on my last cobra with a set of those exact setup I posted earlier and it was dead hooking. Dimebag cut 1.6 60's and pulled both wheels off the ground. Launching on spray btw

If you want to work your way into a stickier tire and ask about 18" wheels... 18x10 with a 295/35 BFG drag radial would be a good middle ground. Great hook for a street tire and a lot more forgiving on those stock axles.

That's so sick dude lol. I want to pull my wheels off the ground. My 555r's dead hooked dropping the clutch at 5000. Can't wait to get back and try to spin off the line.
