17's in the rear? Yeah, that'd probably work. No way on the front, there's barely enough clearance with the 18s.

Is this a Lexus cobrajet lol


My set up
Buddyclub p1
17x9 +37 hoosier drag radial 275/40/17
I only took a pick when I tried to see if the 17" clear the front caliper and they did but too close for my liking maybe 1mm clearance.

17x8+32 also clear front and back

Would anyone know if 245/40/18 +35 would work on the rear? Thx

Dam... Never seen a 17 on the front

Sci

Volk Evo 4 (old but light Jap wheel)
17x10
275/40-17 Toyo R888 R-comps

They clear the front brakes but rub on the suspension upright because of the width



no problem on the rears though

You guys running tpms in the drag wheel setups or just letting the "check system" error stay on?

18" still looks pretty good

18 does look good... Would a 18x9 +44. - 18x10 +44 would this work on our cars?

I run Nitto NT 05's 18" on the rear. They do an amazing job. Didn't go with the Nitto NT 05R because at my home track, slicks put me in a higher class and the regular 05's do just as well without the drag spec. I run the car all the way down the quarter mile and do not have to shift out of 4th.

Recently i went to drag race my ISF and been dissapointed with the results. My 60 ft times were around 2.1 to 2.3. I was on stock potenza re050a. I would like it to bite off the line and do under 2.0 60 ft time. I want to know what size tire and rim is best suited for drag racing? Also if i'm on the stock 19s, whats the best tire to use on it for drag racing if i do not plan on getting a different set of rear rims. I have a pair of michelin pss for it but not sure they will do any different from the potenzas. Any help or experiences could definitely help me out.

I'd say get a whole new lighter set of wheels and toyo r888's for the rears, they are dot legal. As for the fronts: I'm looking into a custom skinny front set just for drag racing (weld might be the supplier)

Something like these would likely work, the gt500 has bigger than conventional brembo calipers so they'll likely clear ours and the cost is relatively cheap

rmillsISF

be careful using the mustang to size wheels. The GT500 may be different, but the GT track pack only changes out the front clipers to Brembo and leaves the rear the same as the stock GT.

BS ISF

you can use r888's but search drag racing performance thread for the best results. IMO all you need is 245/40/18 mickey Thompson et street. many have run this combo with is350 rims with great results and its a cheap route to go.
