Rather than get to far OT with the "Photoshoped" thread, I just thought I would make a new post.

I still have my stock 16" alum wheels.

1. Anyone know the weight with a 235/75/16 Wrangler on them? To lazy to get them down from the attic and check

2. They are 16x7. What is the widest drag style tire I can go and still be useful w/o rounding

3. What is the smallest and skinniest availiable tire for the front? All I have found is a 225/75

4. Oxidizr, do you have a link to your future tire/wheel selection?

 

if i remember correctly there was a guy at the track last time running 305 Mickey Tompsons on his rear. he didn't have any drop at all though. and my crappy memory could be wrong too.

Not sure on the exact weight, but I picked up my stock wheel, same as yours and my 17" Colorado Custom wheel and the stock on felt noticable heavier.

2. I have 255 Drag Radials on my stock wheels right now, but I want to get some ET streets, so I am the same boat as you.

Can't help you with the others, hope this helps. Kent.

 

i am pretty sure you can fit a 26x10.5 16in. on the stock wheel. i am really thinking about buying some BFG drag radials and putting them on the stock wheel. i cant hook for **** on these BFG KDWS tires.

Can't help ya here. But the factory cast 5 spoke aluminum wheels are very light.

26x11.50x16 ET Street

I've seen 28x7.50x16 MT Sportsmans which were popular with the 94-96 Imapla SS crowd. They are 8 ply tubeless and have a capacity of 3000 lbs / tire which should suit the truck just fine.

Bogart Racing Wheels

They are custom made to order wheels and the rears retail about $350 ea. and the fronts about $250 ea. for the combo I'm looking for. Bogart is about 45 mins south of here and really the only reason I'm getting these is I have met someone who is getting me some exceptional pricing. They are strong, light but a little heavy on the pocket book.

 

ox what wheels are you currently using at the track?

btw why not the weld 16/8s?
the newest jegs i have had them on the back cover - about 250 a piece...

 

I use a second set of factory wheels at the track now but I want 16x6 front and 16x10 rears. The bogart wheels are a whopping 12.75 lbs in the front...quite a bit lighter than the welds and I get them for less than $250 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Greg, I weighed an aluminum wheel with a 265.75.16 on it with 15% tread) and it was 56.5 lbs.
