Finally got some Drag Radials
Got some Nitto 275/40/17's, lightly used. Got them on ebay after patiently watching auctions for 2 mos. I was actually the second highest bidder on this set, but the winning buyer screwed the seller, so he contacted me with a second chance.
He offered them to me for 165 plus shipping, I counter-offered with 165 INCLUDING shipping, and he bit. Just need to get them mounted up this weekend...

Re: Finally got some Drag Radials
Your car makes enough power to break traction?
Sounds like a killer deal.

Re: Finally got some Drag Radials
They are used, but not badly. Guy said about 20 passes on the strip using a trans-am.
No more miles I put on the car, they'll prob. dry rot before they wear out... Eventual plans call for a 315/35/17 on my 8.5" repro rim, once I get the axles swapped, etc. Assuming I'll have the clearance to do so.

Re: Finally got some Drag Radials
Will a 315 fit on a 8.5" wheel? I thought that required a 9" wheel at the very minimum.

They actually are a pretty good fit on a 9" rim - I'm hoping a 8.5" rim won't make much difference. Still haven't decided for sure, though. Here's a thread with them on a 9" rim: Page 4, post #114: http://www.corral.net/forums/showthr...3&page=4&pp=35
