Default My next drag setup in development

We're shooting to have this setup in testing in the next 4 weeks. We're going to run custom 15 x 10s rear and 15 x 4s up front. We're still going to run the 26 x 11.5 x 15" ET Streets and 26 x 5" front runners.

Front Runners: (prefer the 1st design)

or


Rear: 15 x 10 - 7.5" BS


We've got a couple of custom pieces that we need to make to facilitate the swap. Should be killer.
Phil

Skiiny tires like that up front will probably cause some under-steer.

Sweet looking wheels.

I would like to see the control arms, calipers, and rotors that will be used to allow the use of 15" wheels.

Same here. If you make suspension and or brake changes, can you drive the car on the street safely? Thanks
