Smile PICS drag racing rim/tire combo.

The rims are weld draglites 15x7 up front and 15X10 rear.
The tires are 205/75/15 up front and ET Streets 30x12.5x15 rear.
The stock rim/tire combo weighed in at 65-70 lbs each, and the front rim/tire combo weighs 25 lbs while the rear rim/tire combo weighs 45 lbs. So 40 lbs off the rear and 80 lbs off the front if I did the math correctly

Now the pics.
Rear view:
Front rim:
The stance:

I think I like the stance

Thumbs up

Dave, she's looking good. I don't think you'd have many challenges on the street with that setup. Would be entertaining to cut a 1.7 60 foot coming away from a stoplight. Enjoy.

can you get a little more backspacing on the rear wheels? they stick out a little to far for my tastes. your gonna have rubber chunks all down the side of your truck after making a pass

Here is my setup, 15 X 3.5 on the front and 15 X 10 on the rear. The wheels are Bogart Drag-On Stars. The front rim and tire weighs just 16 pounds and the rear rims weigh 8 pounds each but I dont have any tires for them yet. Check out these pics:

Hey I like that 94wht. The edge of the front wheel is even with the body. Daves is tucked under and I think thats what doesn't do it for me.

YO DAVE!
That setup looks bad azz bro! My truck doesn't sit like that w/ the draglites
What's the backspaceing on the 15/7's?
It might be different than mine.
Definitly looks killer though.....ya gotta love the stance!

And Dominic?
You have wayyyyyy too much time & money to play with, lol. Those bogarts are a fortune man!
I talked to you at the ECS dyno day & you mentioned the truck was home getting the heads done, now wheels too? What else, lol?!?!

What size tire are you running up front? I run a 165 on my capri & she's REAL SQUIRRLLY at the top end. I can't imagine it in an L! I'd be careful & definitly put a paportioning (spelling?) valve in.
When she gets loose, it's no picnic getting her back under control w/ those little bicycle tires up front!
You're not streeting that setup, are you?
