Blown 346 Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 A drag radial or slick. Brand all depends on preference. BF goodrich or mickey thompson make the drag radials, Or you can go with a ET street or hoosier for the slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1SCSS Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 A set of Caltracs traction bars will help a TON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcsilveradoss Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I would get a wheel tire combo off of a top fuel funny car; the rear may take some minor mods (think-wheel spacers) but it will be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Cal Tracs and a good drag radial or actual slick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Cal tracs for sure. I love mine. Don't forget m and h they make some nice tires as well. Key things to remember: a drag radial will be faster on the big end than a slick (less drag) slick will hook harder with minimal effort but a drag radial can produce the same 60ft just with more adjustments an work. The smaller the tire circumference wise will act as if you put a taller set of gears in her. Also the more sidewall you have will take less effort to bite better so running as small of a rim as possible is best. We can fit a 15" rum on the back. Dont listen to those who say you can't. They're wrong. A 15X8 with a 28" mt dr or m and h dr would be your best bet with a set of cal tracs ten add some adjustable shocks and get her loading and unloading jus right. Also a slick or bias ply if not used will develop a flat spot where a dr will hold its shape and air much longer.

BLOWN SS/T Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 You have drums in the rear being an 06 so go with a 15" wheel. The only issue is finding a wheel with the right offset to not stick out unless you get a factory 15x8 wheel. I wanted to do a 15x10 and the place I was gonna have make the wheel would turn out to be about a 30lb wheel. Too heavy for what I need, and my only other option would be some bogart$. And go with about a 28ish MT ET radial, M&H is good too and there out at the track I race at and I work near there warehouse but I'm still a fan of MT.

GI.SS Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 There is someone who makes a 15X10 with whatever backspacing you want. Price was 100 a wheel. I just can't for the life of me remember who it is. But 6.5 is what you will want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'd some digging it's diamond racing wheels you won't need the truck series as they are super thick for the off-roader and are heavier. Look into the pro or challenger series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentd Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 My neighbor has some 15" wide mickey street tires and they are expensive decorations for his truck lol. He has a s10 with a vortec 350 with a nast cam and all he does is spin them when he gets on it. Not like he is putting down insane hp.
