I use a 8" wheel only because what little growth the tire has will help.

I ran that size tire on an 8 inch wheel on my car but from what i have seen more people run them on a 10 i would assume to get a little more tire on the ground. Look at Artis Houstons nova for example he runs in PSCA and has been in the 7s on that tire on stock suspinsion and caltracs.

Ok I now have my Caltracs leafs and springs on the car but I still dont have any drag radials yet I would like a set for mock up reasons. 275/60-15 and 275/50-15 Mickeys. Any body have any worn out "cheap" sets?

Thanks,

Luis
