Title: Drag Radials
Post by: hwoods on March 27, 2020, 03:40:09 PM

is there an advantage to wheel size when running drag radials?  15" or 17" wheel diameter?   Thanks

Pretty much everyone runs 15's on the fast cars, even when using 17" fronts and on late model cars that came with big wheels. I think the 17's shorter sidewall will work against you unless they are 32" tall.

Echo what Tom said.  15" for racing, 17" for styling.  Sidewalls do a lot of work on the drag strip.
