Not as bad as it looks but they are showing some age. I just wiped them off for that pic. They actually clean up pretty nice.Quote:

My 18" 265ish tire selection is kind of slim. I have some 245/45/17 NT555R drag radials with one that has a hole in the sidewall. I've heard they're not the best at hooking up. I could pick up a replacement tire for cheap but 245 isn't very wide at least I don't care for the 245 summer tires on my car now.
Hoosier has a 17" slick. More sidewall the better for going in a straight line.

If you are getting drag radials you wont need a lot of width. Broomfield was cutting 1.4x 60's at NG with 7" slicks. Get the lightest 17x8's you can and put the M&H's on them. That would be my choice if I was going for a drag package.
Wouldn't a 28" slick be too tall?Quote:

I need to check them again to see if they'll clear my BBK since I thought they barely rubbed against the wheel weights plus the barrel of the wheel angles in.Quote:

There is also the 26x7r17 Mickey Thompson slicks that are the same width that Dave was running at NG cutting 1.4's.
You could run a narrower/lighter wheel then.

I like the colors of the grids and the style grows on me a little. I guess the only way I liked the TE37s some was with a heavy concave shape to it. Otherwise they look kind of boring. I'd run a skinny slick and wheel but I don't know what would clear my Stoptechs which would be one hold up.
Which stoptech kit? 332's will fit under a 17" wheel.
