Test fitted the drag wheel on the MM

[hotford]

Well after picking up the car from lids last week and with its added power Im iching to get the car to the track so I had some time over the weekend to test fit the drag wheel on the MM, Ive always ran the car at the track at full weight with the factory wheels with a Drag radial on the rear.....next time out I will be trying both the stockers and this set up......

[Shaijack]

Nice set up. Good luck.

[ctrlraven]

What's the size on the front? Shermantor had his stock wheels narrowed I believe. I swear the tire looks on it looks like it belongs on a motorcycle! LOL

[LANDY]

That is one of the sweetest setup i have ever seen.

[68MercuryM250]

Awesome rig!!!! I think I am going to need therapy.....or a bigger bank account specifically for mods.....

[MOTOWN]

Looks pretty mean bud!

Hoosier 26x7.50R17LT Radial.........

[hotford]

That is one of the sweetest setup i have ever seen.

Thanks..... took alot of thought as to which way to go.......I think this looks killer ,just forgot to put the center caps on the rears......lol.........

gonna post my new Dyno numbers with the graph.....people are gonna get there feeling hurt this year locally when they pull beside.lol

[sailsmen]

I went from Drag Radials, which could not get traction in cool weather, to "Cheater Slicks", which resulted in too many aborted runs, to the new generation of Drag Radials.
Now I drive it to the track, let some air out the rears and run it like I brung it.:D

[LANDY]

You might find those QTP need some bead locks.

[sailsmen]

Yep, it's a daily driver with 170+K miles.
With the current Drag Radials I have never had to abort a run.:D

With the Drag Radials I have had zero issues driving to/from the track.:D

Hope your new set up exceeds your expectations. Please report back!

Haha! Thats great!

Hope your new set up exceeds your expectations. Please report back! The Drag radials are great, i can hook them on blower only which is 11.3@124. However out the gate it wont hold the nitrous. They have different compounds for different tire sizes. The best size is a 275/60/15. We can put it in our cars with a little massaging on the rear brakes.

Oh Ya some rear Beed locks would look insane on the rear..........

[sailsmen]

I mark the tire/rim on the rears with a grease pencil. Look at how the rears are wearing for indication of how much air pressure.

THANK YOU!!:banana2:

[MarauderPU]

I want to run a15 x 10 inch drag racing type rim on the rear.

These will clear the brakes with some minor massaging?

[MarauderPU]

The car looks great

Would you be so kind as to list the rear wheel make, model width and the tires

what did you have to do to get them to fit? Brake issues?

thanks!

Karl

Sorry, Apparently an upgrade changed the location.
click on sailsmen,statistics, find all threads started by and scan thru the titles.

These 16" clear;
Pair MT ET Streets 28X11.5-16LT with MT Tubes mounted on Mustang 16" Mag Wheels.
Two - MT ET Streets 3796
Two - MT Tubes 9554
One - Mustang 3375 5-4.5-16X7.5
One - Mustang 3474 5-4.5-16X7.5 .

[LANDY]

Dont do the 11.5 on that rim. It will get dangerous.

[LANDY]

Use the 10.5 size with that wheel.

[MarauderPU]

What size tire, brand and wheel specs are on the rear

Car looks great
