What kind of backspacing/offset? sorry for the 20 questions, I'm trying to make a decision on what to get myself. Seems like the a 275 is the answer for a tire, but I can't decide between wheel size. mostly due to the fact that the backspacing is too little and would push the tire into the fender.
Your truck looks good with that tire. That is another concern is the nicer tires all have a 26" or lower OD which ends up making the truck look like a clown car haha.
Either way, congrats!

awesome run man! that thing is hooking with a 1.4-1.5 60 ft. I'm almost baffled that it is getting those kind of times in the 60. Are you still stock suspension other than what's required for lowering???

I'm interested in the suspension also. 14bolt swap? My goal is to be in mid to low 11's some day soon.
And yes, I weighed my truck a few months ago. Right at 5k lbs, spare tire, hitch, everything stock and then some.

With what you have in your sig, you should definitely be in low 11s.

Good to hear. Went to the track once last summer (first season on boost) and best was 12.8/123mph. 2wd, stock G80 3.23, cheap street 20" tires. Best 60' was 2.4! Slicks and 14bolt is in my future.

Those gears are killing you and so are the street tires. I would go full slicks on 2wd. Even my 315 drag radials are a handful at 800 hp. The 10 bolt should be fine until you get into the 9s.

Not sure on back spacing the only issues I have r turning my 17x9.5 front r a bit wide.. I was going to use a spacer but I just sold my rim tire set up.. going on full slicks all 4..trying to dip into the 1.3* 60' yes I'm shooting for 9s
