after doing the suspension limiters and being able to cut prety decent 60' times on the stock tires even on the cold streets it has me thinking. i probably dont want a ton more traction, not right now at least. just cuting some consistant 1.60's or better would make me happy for awhile, maybe all of next season.

i want a rim/tire combo that isn't too short, that i can just leave on the truck all the time, doesn't stick out past the wheel well.

15's just wont fit. i can't leave slicks on all the time. the tallest 16" drag radial is 26" tall other than the m&h DR that is 28" tall but as far is a know they are not selling them yet and they are still prety short.

seems to me the best bet is the nittos. http://www.nittotire.com/popup_555r_sizes.asp the 305/45/18" size is 28.78" tall, the tallest tire i can find.

pair that with some cheaper 18x10 centerline wheels and drop the truck a little more and i think i will have a prety decent combo, wont exactly be a sleeper anymore but it wont screem drag truck either.

what do you think of these wheels? $210 each for 18x10.


or these for $139 each in the 18x9.5".


they have a few others in the discount section.

soo, lets say i can pull 1.70's on my stock tires, what might 4 of those nittos do for me? i have never had anything against a little bling or some cool rims, just never wanted to spend money on something that didn't make it faster. a little bling might be cool for a change.

Man that is going to look so good! I would definately go with the first set. Very Sweet!! I cant wait to see what they look like on the truck when it is lowered.

It still won't look like a mid-10 second truck.

I like the 1st ones better than the 2nd, but at $139/wheel, I might just have to vote for #2.

Mr. Sandog

The 2nd set of wheels is a little more understated IMO, and probably the set I would go for.

It will be interesting to see what a foot of rubber at each corner will give you traction-wise, and ultimately 60-ft. time-wise.

Between the two, I like the 5 spokes. I have 18's on my truck and run Nitto 404's and love em. Good luck with whatever you choose and It will look nice.

I like the first set ..

Did you use those spring limiters that I show you ??

I like the first set. I had allot of people recommend 18" nittos drag radios for my truck but being that its a 8 lug 18" wheels for my truck weight allot. I have 325/60r18 on 18X9 as dress shoes but they weight 91lbs per.

First set looks real familiar.LOL, But they are a little different than mine. You know your times will probably suffer a bit due to weight don't you.
