[crazeejay]

PIcked up these 26x11.5x17 ET Streets today. I think they will help me out nicely.

[Onebadbee]

and your old drag radials are

[Onebadbee]

i need to buy some used ones from somewhere

[sawcut64]

Jay after you get them mounted on the truck, could you please measure the installed height for me?

[crazeejay]

he had 28x16 slicks
I still have them. I'll use both sets

[crazeejay]

Now you need the wheels to match your front runners

Ya they would be nice to have but I don't feel like going thru all the trouble to get them. :D

Nice tires jay!;) I picked up .3(three tenths) with the ones I had. Wore them out last year. I now use BFG 315X11.5X 17 and sometimes I use the MT Streets-not the DR. BFG is a softer rubber and wear out faster, for me anyway.



dline, thanks for letting me know about your site!:D I like the layout also. ( I am aka 1hemiracer)

i bet those tires are light Jay.

They are pretty much identical weightwise to my 28x16's

[Hemidup]

Lookin good Jay. What rims do you plan on using?

[dline]

teflon frying pans!

teflon frying pans!

Maybe some rims made from recycled Molson beer cans? :D

[crazeejay]

Well I was planning on using some wheels to match my front runners but that fell thru. So I'll be using the same style wheel as my 16's.

[dline]

eh!:p

Anyone know if a shop can widen/narrow the stock offroad alum. 17's ? My local wheel places want to look at them first before deciding and I don't want to buy a set in the newspaper if I can't chop them. Maybe I'll just chop my Eagles 058s instead.

I know of two places that widen/narrow rims, Weldcraft in the Detroit area, and there's one in the Dallas area as well. Can't remember the name of the one in Dallas, but they do excellent work. If interested I'll find out more info.

I called weldcraft to widen my wheels, it would've been $215 / wheel to do it, fuck that.

[sawcut64]

The place in Dallas wants $150 per rim if you supply the doner rim, or $200 per rim if they supply the doner rim. Honestly I don't think it's a bad price considering the cost of new rims and you will be able to tuck them much better because they only add/subtract backspacing.

when your only talking 2 wheels its not too bad, I was hoping to get 4 of them done, I'll just get new 18x9 wheels.

True but 2WD guys could probably squeeze in a 18X11 in the rear.

[dline]

that'd look sweet, i know randtx's setup looks sweet.

[JohnnyHemi]

i had to get rid of my 16s that i was going to use for my slick setup after my stock axel took a shit now im getting 17 thats the smallest i can fit and still have a functional caliper, how much did you pay for those 17s if ya dont mind me askin.
