My blown 06 build
HELP NEED TRACTION!
Hello fellow motor heads... I have almost finished my build and need some advice on drag rims/tires... I'll start with the truck:
06 SBRC Sierra 1500 5.3 2wd modifications so far are:
Mp112 blower intercooled PC long tubes no cats 3" out back vhp trucker high lift cam 90mm jtube and throttle body (thanks Brian! Thanks Roger!) tuned via autocal bye the man justin @blackbear... Nitrous coming soon!
Trans: yank trans/conv package built 4l80e level lll by gear star for yank billet 2800 stall (thanks Dave and of course thanks dirt track racer for the perfect crossmember !)
Rear: tru trac with 3.73 gears drum brakes
Truck is lowered 3/4 sitting on 275/40r20s up front and 315/35r20s on rear. It is a blast to drive but I have zero traction out of the hole. I would like to go to the track soon but can't decide what rim and tire combo to go with. What are u guys running height / with tire and rim size? Any input appreciated !

tires
with 3:73 gears you don't want to get to tall of a tire, it will kill your
gear ratio. 27" to 28" tall and about 10" wide. use rims about 9"-10" wide
pick you rims 16"-18" to fit your truck, drag radials work well.
just remember after you come of the line you have to pull the weight of the tires all the way thru the 1/4 mi. so bigger is not always better when
it comes to tires.
