I never disagree...I don't have a clue about 18" tires...I will say that your rim size generally denotes how much meat you can fit...check with the DR manufacturer and they will tell you real quick...

Craig, the Nittos are the hardest compount drag radial out there and I don't know many regular bracket racers that have stayed with them when trying them.

Fuzzy uses them and I heard he's constipated. Or maybe just irregular.
Well we KNOW he never races anymore!!

Well we KNOW he never races anymore!! Maybe it's due to a slight age difference. I don't understand half of what you say.Naw, you're just drinking again.

You haven't driven in so long you don't know what a "snappy short time" is.
