rear wheels and tires for dragstrip use...

[chex]

Can anyone reccomend the rear wheels and tires I should use if I want to go to the strip and give her some runs? The car is a 96 RT10

You can use the Kumho's on a second set of the 5 stars or get some 99-02 wheels and put some BFG's on them. Check your ***.

If you want to drag, the Kumho's might dissapoint you. They are a great track tire, but, the BFG's and the new MT drag radials are much better at the strip. I currently run both the Kumhos (autocross) and the Mickey Thompsons, you will like the mickey thompons for both the street and the strip. The MT's are great, but, you will need a set of 16" purner wheels.

You can get the MT drag radials in 17" too.

If your serious about it do a little work and run 15's out back with a nice set of hoosiers

TonY:

question - what wheels do you use for the 17", they suggest a 9" wheel?
