size is right. Those are just my street wheels in the pic. I have 16" slicks and skinnies for the track. I'm sure Those 18s would hurt me..haha.

15s would be nice for the track for sure. I went 16 because of brakes. At the time I thought it would be too much hassle

someone with a CNC should offer modified s10 calipers for a $100 upcharge. who do we know? atomic fab?


once you figure out how to hook a drag radials, slicks immediately become a thing of the past. they are that good now days. especially knowing that we can fit a 315 under these trucks. the 275 drag radial was an eye opener to me.

Ehh... arguable.

Wheels look great.

Found out my Eliminators will get here Friday, needed a street set. But still prefer the look of a D10 like my race set.

Radials can be faster if the track prep is awesome. If the track sucks slicks will be better, or at least a lot easier to work with.

Will do.

And why I run a stiff wall slick. Best of both worlds on a truck.

I agree.
With no small 1/8 mile track here anymore, and not doing T&T, my track rental prep is always good.
