GI.SS Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Has anyone tried out the newer 20" drag radials that Mickey Thompson and nitto came out with? They're both 29" tall but for two have a $100 difference between them. Thinking of Maybe running these instead of buying another set of wheels and tires just for the track.

BLOWN SS/T Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 My buddies brother in law is running the m/t on camaro wheels, the cars gone as fast as 10.9 on spray. But idk what kind of 60' times he has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 If it matters I got the 2 15" wheels shipped for $200. I really like them only downside is I can't drive around town with them since I have a slicks mounted on them or else I'd leave them on all the time. And they make a 16x6 and 17x7 in the same so if you wanted you could run those out front with a narrow tire for weight savings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Not sure on the 20's. I always go with a larger sidewall tire on a smaller rim for the best traction and sidewall flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once bought a pair of 285/35/18 Nitto 555R's and they had very little sidewall and they would do just ok, night and day difference going to a 15" MT et DR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSSS Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I am going to try 4 of the nitto's in May. I am going to put them on my stock 20's also. Hopefully I will be able to get it to hook then! I say try the nitto's and tell me how they work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I've been trying to figure out exactly which wheel you bought. I also like the raceline wheels. Just that they don't make a 15" only 16"+ and tire selection stinks for 17" without being $300+ a tire. Heck the 20" mt's are $380 a piece!

GI.SS Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm well aware of that, but almost $400 a tire is a bit absurd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I last called race line they were talking about making the 15" wheel for our trucks as I had called, and they wanted to know what state I was calling from to get an idea of where the interest is coming from. But they said it was looking like a good chance of making production as the 17" they had coming out was getting a lot of interest. Idk how well it's done but they said if it did good in June-July you could see a 15x10. Maybe give them a call and see where they are with them. Anyways here the direct link to the 15" I'm running. http://m.summitracing.com/parts/are-1725884 Only downside to the wheel is that it's a 8" wide wheel so if your running DR's I think a 275 is as about wide as you can go or maybe even a 295. And if you need the 10" width then that's when your gonna have to run the negative BS. That's the wheel mounted up from a side view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Nice sandals lol just ordered some. I can't find a 295 m/t that's 28" tall for a 15" rim. I don't want a bias ply only a true radial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Getting some 16's n I need to find a good tire for them too. Been looking around and haven't seen much. Gonna be nice to run it without these heavy suckers. If I cut a 1.8 flat now I should be able to pic up a little and hopefully a good bit on the other side as well.

GI.SS Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Which 16's? That's why I didn't go 16 because tire selection just stinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Which 16's? That's why I didn't go 16 because tire selection just stinks.Just alum stockers. Nothing special.
