low 1.7's is really starting to hook. I remember running beside Blucajun in my Z and we were neck and neck for half track. I think we both cut low 1.7.

My 10" rims are just standard offset so they stick out and look like crap ! Also sling melted tar & rubber all over the sides and windows.

those MT 15x8s i had with slicks weighed a mere 36 pounds

i got impatient and ordered up the 3055s tires. stiff sidewall 28x10.5-15. havent chosen any wheels yet. not guna drop a grand on bogarts though

lol yeah thats what i have mounted, mounted them the other day, waiting on the front runners to come in which will be this week. except in a 15" i would have went with the M8 compound from M/T dunno i just loved the way those tires hooked.. those will be my next set or at lease softer sidewall.
