Look at what the UPS guy dropped off yesterday...


315/35/17 BFG R1 dot road race tires, 17x10.5 AFS Cobra style wheels.

picture with them is the 275/40/17 Toyo RA1

Very nice, I bet they cost a lil bit too.

WOW, those are friggin wide, did they measure true to size?

 

[01SVTSnake]

its a BFG so they tend to run wide. Them tires are huge.

 

[Venom525RWHP]

The contact patch measured 12.125in.

I got these for the KOTH finals, 2000CDN up for grabs!

Last time a LS1 (heads & cam mod) on ET streets got me on the line...

Here is the vid...lol

Sick! I run BFGs on my super duty and my trailer, lol.

 

[03yllwguy]

holy crap, that vid looks like a blast! So do they bulge on your 10.5er pretty bad then?

 

[SCT2003]

Those are going on what rims and with what spacers???

Those are some big ass steam rollers!!!

LOL

Spent all morning scrubbing and heat sycling them. Now I have to let them sit for 24hrs off the car.

1/8 spacer with the IRS bolt ground down a little and inside fender under the IRS bracket knocked in with a wooden block and hammer for more clearance.

[CobraBob]

Man o man! Those are sweet! Yeah, I'd say the competition has reason to shake in their shoes. LOL! Best of luck with them.

Thanks!

Took the Cobra out for a few laps to heat cycle the new rubber...

32C outside temps, 12psi max with mild timing/airfuel settings running a full opentrack setup.
For the finals Saturday I will change the rear settings to loosen things up a bit for those left handers plus move some weight around. Should pickup atleast a second or so...

Best was 21.70 with terrible understeer midcorner.
Enough for top ten in the Peterbuilt Super Stocks and the Poweraide Modifieds are running mid 19's, so I was pretty pleased overall.
