Can you get effective drag tyres in sizes larger than 16 inch [rim size] or is it best to use 16s?
I dont want to have to put my std rear brakes on to do the odd drag meet so I'm hoping that I can use motorsport 17 inch rears.

 

Danny B used 17in drag radials on his saph

give him an email, see my sig

 

cheers Pete

 

not a problem, he used them in a 8in RL7 rim, hang on i'll get a pic

 

and they make lot's of smoke

 

Dannys Saff looks pure evil

 

BFG drags come in 205/40/17 225/40/17 275/40/17 (ideal for R33GTR rims) and 315/35/17.

In 18s they come 245/40 265/40 275/35 295/35 315/30 and a monster 345/30.

They are low profile road legal radial tyres, not like the M/T balloon jobbers a lot of the quickest cars are running lately.

When I actually gave a fuck about drag racing I was gonna use 16in R32GTR rims and proper Hoosier Wrinkle Wall drag tyres, just like the Heat Treatments and RIPS car always used.

But now I dont give a shit.

So i wont

 

Its the higher profile jobbies I was thinking of like the ones Tim ran on his Nur 34.
Hows the GTR coming on Steve?

 

Wont get big profile ones with 17s mate.

But dont discount these ones mate, ask Danny B, he can explain.

IMO you wont see a grip advantage between Tims type and these, as tims might be higher profile but they not wrinkle wall jobs so I dont see an advantage of a high profile tyre in the respect.

Dunno how the GTR is coming on, I forgot to find out, and im off home now
