Default Drag wheels...kinda





Picked these up from a friend who just had them laying around his house. Traded him my stock 3.27 gears for them. Need to put a new set of et streets or qtp's on them when I get back from mustang week. But hopefully they'll be ready to roll come fall. Nothing special, just getting by without shaving down the lower control arm.

I know you're gonna say I'm gonna blow my halfshafts with tires like that.

Repzard, they are 26x11.5x17 if I remember correctly. Haven't figured out if Im gonna run the et streets, qtp's, or some Hoosier drag radials. I have more fear running the drag radials than I do running the slicks with the IRS as the slicks absorb some of the shock of the launch. But we'll see.

because he traded for them. if he gets 15's he would have to run spacers in the rear. You can't even run 16's with an IRS

Thank You !!! teej.

Wow ...11.5 , I was thinking maybe going with 275-40-17 Nitto DRs and that maybe to wide for the stockers.
