F14 drag wheels with 26inch drag radial bronze on IOM PICS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Heres my setup, finally together, after a journey for a Spec Mini Twin clutch install!!

You gotta be careful with where the weights are installed; has to be very close towards outside..front 18x8 clears "roller skates". Rear are 17x10 with 315 35 17 Toyo TQ. Front are 235 50 18.

And now with the rear only Pedders 1inch drop!! ��

Looks good, just a lot of wheel well.

Punisher_ATX · 05-21-2018, 05:22 PM

Why 2.5-3" shorter tire than stock??

SSEssence · 05-21-2018, 05:28 PM

Those look tiny on there, maybe get a taller drag tire?

hntrgthrs · 05-21-2018, 06:54 PM

Are you going with such a shorter tire for gearing purposes?

WHAMMO · 05-21-2018, 10:17 PM

Yeah, I want my 11s pass and better gearing, the cheap way

The 27 28inch tires are so much pricier, I wanted to give a try with the 26. The real bummer is that only Mickey Thompson makes the 28, and I want to ride on it all summer long on this with better durability. I would have liked Nittos or anything more street oriented...but nothing available in 28".

Honestly, it looks better in person, but even then, I really got used to it. But a 28inch tires will look awesome!!

You never considered the Nitto NT555R? I'm using them and they are 28 with a 305/35/20

Thanks man!

Well I wanted to run a real drag pack for WR and better launch...I wanted to run them 17" in the rear! I think Ive lost 10lbs on each corner.

Makes sense. I know a number of GTO guys who did that as well.

WHAMMO · 05-23-2018, 10:53 PM

Im gonna add that dropping the car 1inch will make the car touch the 17inch while accelerating (keeping in mind I run 26inch tires in the rear). Had to get the lower rear arm heated then hammered to clear the wheels, like half inch.
