Attn Craig W.
Hey I think I may go to a 10" rim in the off season. I know you told me in another thread you are running 5.5"BS on your nova. What are your tire specs, such as section width and all? I want to make sure everything will fit. I currently run a MT ET Drag 28/9/15.
Also, I noticed on your webpage you have your caltracs in the bottom hole. I have mine in the top which I think makes it hit the tire harder. Have you tried it in both places? How much difference have you seen?

Re: Attn Craig W.
The 10" rim only works on my car because of the small tire. They are 26x8.5. Section width is 11-1/16" on the 10" rim. This section width would hit the quarter panel if they were a 28" tires.
I haven't tried the top hole on the Caltracs in quite some time. I did years ago when I first installed them and found the bottom hole worked better for me. I have to take away a lot of power to hook on the little tires, so I've never felt it would help to hit the tires any harder than what I can do with shock adjustments.
28x9s fit well on my car on 8" rims with 4.5" of backspacing.
If you want pictures, I can snap some while the car is up on the lift for the gear swap (ate up the ring gear last weekend).

Re: Attn Craig W.
If you can take some pictures that would be awesome...maybe I will go to the 8.5s too.

I've got a set of 8.5s for sale. They've got 19 runs on them. Still hooked fine the last time I ran them.
$150 if you're interested.

Re: Attn Craig W.
I may take you up on that Craig. I got something a guy is supposed to be buying from me this week, the check is in the mail, so as long as that goes through and you still have them I may do that. Do you know how much to ship them to 22560?

Re: Attn Craig W.
Is that for both or each? As soon as I get the check I will let you know. You don't know anyone with 15x10 Weld Prostars with 5.5 BS do you?

Re: Attn Craig W.
That's for both tires.
The tires are still on the rims. I might sell the rims too and just leave them all mounted. There are drag tubes in them, which are pretty pricey. If I decide to sell rims, tires and tubes, I'd need $225 for the rims and $125 for the tubes. Shipping would go up a little too. So that would be $500 + about $35 shipping.

Re: Attn Craig W.
I've been thinking about changing the look of the car. Not sure if I want to or not.
Yes, the tires are screwed to the rims.
I'll get you some pictures.
