Here's mine - currently on 18" front and 15" rear Weld RTS. I have the RTS skinnies for the front for the occasion.









Ignore the outside wheel weights. Hadn't figured out yet how to deal with the inner barrel weights with the abuse I subjected the rears to. That's been sorted.

Are you all running TPMS sensors in these setups?

Forgot to post what I ended up going with.

I had the 16 CCW's single beadlock'd which turned out great. Up front I went with the Weld Full Throttle 17's. Took months to get them, and Weld F'd up and cut the wrong ones as mine were supposed to be black. They made good though, and I ended up with the very first set of !7's in existence. Yay me....

Appreciate the kudos, Ira. The "ghost of Tessa past" - classic.

The Drag Week class I race in limits me to an 11.5 wide tire based on a go/no go gauge. I've found that the 295 is really tight on that so I stick with that. I run Hoosier's.

It seems like it is more than just a tire and wheel combo that is needed to plant the power.

What is being done with suspension (shock-coilover-swaybar) and alignment settings to make it all work together?
