not a drag radial but they're 17x9.5 ZR1s (fronts - off a real zr1 no less) with 28x10.50r17 Hoosier Bias Ply. had to take the lowering bolts off but they fit fine with the stock bolts lowered all the way (not cut)

nice! I've ran 305/35/18 DRs that hooked well at 630whp. I'm leaning towards 345/45/17 for 730whp now. Or is that overkill?

Really nice looking setup. Do you know how much the total weight savings was? Any track times to see improvements ?
Thanks
