[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 16159457, member: 7795"] I actually have the setup you want if you don’t want to modify anything: Darkstar 18x5 fronts and 17x10.5 rears. Rears are 28.5x11.5x17 MT ET Street R bias ply. Fronts I have mounted 28” M&H bias plys but also have 26” M&H radials. I decided to swap to lighter Wildwood brakes all around and have Weld beadlock s now. Long story short is the most efficient way is the Dragstar/Darkstar setup as it requires no spacers. They also make a 18x10.5” rear. I will say the 17” rear is SO close to the shock mount you’ll have to check for interference as I had slight rub on one side with strip use. Take home point—RUN BIAS PLYS AT THE TRACK! Drag radials will work but are a street tire for a stick car. At the strip, the bias ply will be much more consistent and save parts and possibly rear end noise. PM me is interested in the Darkstars. -J [/QUOTE]
