Bouch252 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 you're looking for a pair shit wheels go to a junk yard. My only problem is I have drums in the back. Was talking to Mark today (RockHead) and he said I need 17" wheels with a max of 26" high. So I'll have to break down and buy a set of 17" from the junk yard and pick up 17" drags.

That's what I'm probably gonna wind up doing. The wheels will probably run me 150 or so and the 17" drags about 200 a piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GI.SS Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 You can use a 16" rim with the drums out back I know this because i just test fit a set I have. I wouldnt use a 26" tall tire. You should look for a 28" DR to stay as close as possible to your stock tire height. Width of the tire you use will determine on the offset of the wheel you use. If I were get another set of drag wheels, I would get the aluminum 5 spoke stock 17" wheels so the front and back match and they still have a relatively nice selection of sticky tires in the 17" size. I am very limited running a 16" rim. But hey I already have them so wth why not run them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
