I would like to say thanks for the info about the 16 inch wheels from another forum member. Here is the link to the wheels that I got. Click Here!!! You will need to scroll to the left for the AT Itaila Presa in a 16x8 for $99 on clearance. I ordered 2 16 inch wheels from Tire Rack and they fit no problems. I have mounted used 27x10.5x16 ET Streets on them. The truck looks a little weird but I have a feeling that it will get the job done. Hope to get the truck into the 12s with the few mods that I have on there. I know that the DA here when I went 13.07 @ 103 was 4000 and the inlet air temp was close to 110. Pics to post soon.

Nice wheels. Ive ran a 10.5 on a 8 inch wheel and does have buldge.

the 275 40 17 drag rads I bought have got a trailblazer ss 1.501 60 foot time and hook hard even at the street races with a 150 shot off the line.

i got these 17x8.5s from discounttiredirect.com for 206 shipped to my door.

i wanted a small height tire. with a 275 40 17 you are in the sweet spot going threw the lights and 3rd tops out at 122 mph which was good for a 11.4 on the trailblazer ss. also a stock 2wd ss borrowed the wheel and tire combo and just hp tuner was used for the difference in tire height ran a 14.1 stock and a 13.6 with teh drag radials. the 275 40 17 make the thing just go threw the gears fast.

i run at the street races and also on the street a lot and ive used et streets and ride just sucked. They hooked great though but didnt like the bounce at all. If you end up getting a 255 50 16 im sure you would be happy with that in a drag radial tire

ps-remember to tune for the difference in tire height or the truck will shift to early and truck will act funny driving around

Yeah listen to Norcal it will shift late and probaly hit the rev limiter.It will take a little fine tuning but once right it will be the sh$$#

I understand about the tire size and shifting thing. The funny thing is that after I installed the 3600 TC, I do not get MPH down the track. I only plan on using the tires and wheels at the track. As for the street driving I do not do a whole lot.

Looks good mang... is the offset of a truck application rim different? Would Scott's drag pac fit on your ride?

Bolt Pattern is a 6x5, only GM vehicle that shares that is the Envoy and Saab

Yeah some reason the TBSS is different than the C1500 by a 1/4 of an inch from center lug hole to center lug hole. I did steal his small set of tires and he is running the larger ones.
