BLOWN SS/T Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I was just looking at these last night. I talked to them early in the year about a 15x10 with a 6.5" bs and they said they were talking about it right when I called, was wondering if they made it after all. Didn't see it listed for sale on their web page but in the gallery section I saw a rcsb with that wheel in 15x10 and a 17 out front. How wide are the front runners? The 225/60/17 will put you right under 28" OD, I was thinking of using a 235/60/17 or 65 with an 8" wide wheel. Did you order the M&H tires already? if not I have a discount code I can look up that'll save you a few bucks if your ordering from them directly. I'm ready to see a 12 second pass out of your truck lol, if you ever get a chance come up to Famoso early next year to take advantage of the DA, there's usually a few private track rentals and you can get in for $100. But great lane prep and you can tons of passes. I took out the truck as soon I got home today for a test drive, haven't touched it sine the balancer swap. And I should be going to famoso tomorrow night for test n tune, but DA will be over 2K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 The front rims are 17x7. They are taking pre order's for the 15x9.5 on 1320wheels.com. $5xx for the rears (pair). Should be coming out in october and they will be also making a 17x4.5" front wheel. I had a discount code for M&H tires too lol. They are on back order about 2.5 weeks. A 275/50/17 is 27.83" tall, a 225/60/17 is 27.63" tall. 235/60/17 28.10" tall. I still havent got the front tires yet so it isnt set in stone.

AugustBurnsRed19 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Dang those look badass! What did you do to make those rims fit on the SS Silverado six lug? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 M&h was the only people i could find online with a 17" runner but it was only 26" In diameter which is too short for me lol. What did you end up paying for the 17x7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GI.SS Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 They have a truck star 6 spoke designed to fit our trucks. That'll look sweet art. What was the pricing from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AugustBurnsRed19 Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 I looked em up I think they are 400 a wheel? Now I am thinking about the 17s truck wheels they only weigh 20lbs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandostert Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Bad ass set up. Wouldn't a tire closer to 27" put you closer to maxing out 3rd in the 1/4 I want to regear for some 4.56 for some time now. I just missed a used front diff on craigslist for 100$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopnewton Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 The 275/50/R17 DR's must not hook all that great. If someone wants to give them a shot, this might save you a little money. http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/gm-parts-classifieds-23/racestar-17-x-9-5-tires-houston-530566/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12'SROCK Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Lots of people running that tire size and booking good. All depends on suspension and track prep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
