Drag Radials
Started looking for drag radials, no sense in burning up the street tires at the track. Looks like no one has 18's available yet. So looks like I need smaller wheels for the rear. What are the options? These wheel and tire sizes make me :banghead:

Actually, Nitto has a 305/45R18. I have seen this on a few Lightnings.
Check their website at www.nittotire.com and look under the 555R series.

The nitoos look terible in 18 and I believe that many people will agree with me..... I myself put an order for the nitto's in 17 and Im changing the rear rims...
I bought (2) 17" Wagon Wheels ($30 each) and (2) 275/40/17 BFG DR's and after all was said and done the whole setup cost under $400. Would I like to have Chrome Z06 Rims instead of the Wagon Wheels?....of course, but at $30 each I won't lose any sleep over it...
:cheers:

What do you mean look terrible? I was just trying to keep the stock wheel sizes. It would be a better selection if I had 17's. :D

Re: Drag Radials (Dugmole)
if your looking for a STREET/STRIP tire,...get the Nitto's,...but if you want a tire,..and your going to be useing it only at the track, I would get the BFG drag radials, they hook MUCH better. The nitto's are more street friendly, as the BFG's are better on the track, just don't get caught in the rain with them :sad:
