245 bfgs on front with 18x8 and 305 NT05r's (jury is out here still on how well they hook) with 18x9.5.

my 'street' set up has tires on the way....I'll have to take better quality pics for that. Tony said so. lol I did Forgestar F14s deep concave 20x9.5 and the new 11s in gloss black.

Hey, when you run this new set-up I would like you to PM me the info on your 60' times and how they hook. I have the NT05r's on my 20's and they hook better than the "stock" tires but I was having to use the "comp" mode when at the strip to actually get good launches. I just ordered a set of Weld Racing S-71 18X6 front-18X10.5 rear with new Nitto's front and back. Hoping the 18" wheels give a little better launch over the 20's and I will be able to run with all controls off!

I got 1.8s last time spinning through the 60'. But it was track opening weekend, no rubber down, clean surface. I'll go again this month in March.

Dave Coyle · 03-01-2013, 09:58 AM

That's what I was pulling with my 20's using comp mode so I hope maybe getting some 1.7's with all traction control off. I won't be able to test mine till March/April depending on the weather here in Michigan.

Dave Coyle · 03-01-2013, 10:00 AM

Oh, forgot, what kind of RWHP and torque are you running with your set-up?

grocerygetter · 03-01-2013, 10:12 AM

around 500. I'm hoping for 1.6-7 range at this track. If I don't get there I will switch to Mickey Thompsons.

SGOS252382 · 03-02-2013, 10:01 AM

You should have no trouble pulling 1.6x - 1.7x sec 60' with those NT05Rs (especially in 18" 305/45/18).

I was consistantly pulling 1.73 - 1.77 sec 60' with 20" (305/35/20) NT555Rs and they aren't as sticky as the NT05Rs.

I'm expecting 1.6x sec 60' my next trip to the track with my 305/45/18 (NT555Rs) with my bolt ons setup.

Camper · 03-02-2013, 10:10 AM

what is the offset on your rears?
