    I bought a set of Jerrys ultra-sweet brackets for the Whipple swap which I had high polished then anodized red for a little under hood bling! I also did a set of Fore fuel rails.

    And I must say that pictures do not do these wheels justice!

    Hopefully these wheels will tuck and not stick out! I am sure if you are doing the mini tub that you have carefully measured offset, etc. So what size tires? Do they make a drag radial to fit those rears?

    Hope doesn't come into play here , experience does! Sounds like you answered your own question, I'll be running Mickey Thompson street radials in a 29X15X20 , and I wouldn't waste my money on drag radials which are fatal in the rain , and last all of 5K miles.

    I'm sure you already know this, but to fit a stock Terminator lower intake/heat exchanger, the Teksid block will need some grinding in the valley of the the block. Also the stock knock sensors will not fit, there are several ways around that. Not sure if you are keeping the knock sensors in the tune though.

    Yes I haven't ground them down yet, hell I don't even have the car right now, but I'll get to it.

    You should not drive any type of drag radial, street radial, slick or otherwise in the rain as I am sure you know. I think it is stupid that so many people with 500+hp cars run regular radial tires. I mean come on, really? But anyway, I asked the question because your last wheel/tire setup was not my favorite, just being honest. It looks like you are on your way to a winner this time around, cannot wait to see it. What size front tire?

    Roger, I wasn't arguing I was agreeing with the tires. I stated my opinion about the last setup, and then complimented your new setup, and asked another question about it. I am failing to see the issue with engaging conversation about your build. That is what this thread is for isn't it? To show it off and discuss it? Either way, good luck with it.

    I agree the last setup was terrible, Like someone took SUV wheels and tires and threw them on for a hotwheelz look.

    These three piece wheels look lightyears better, hopefully he gets the offsets correct this time around.
