Front Runners

[FM58]

What size front runners are you guys running 26" or 28"? I'm lowered about an inch. Also running 28" rears. Thanks!

If you don't mind running a bias ply, Phoenix makes a 27" that fits great. I also had a 28" radial but thought it was too tall. 26" is too short

Thanks for that info. I agree I think that 27” is just about right. Is that Phoenix front runner white lettered on one side do you know?

I’ve emailed both MT and M&H about making a 27” in both 17/18” but said they’re waiting on demand, so email away.
Are you running 17s or 18s up front?
28” looks fine with 18s otherwise too bulky on 17s
I run the new 28” MT on my GT500 and it’s perfect on 18x5s
I like the M&H front radials best and have some like new 26” for 18” fronts (185/55/18 maybe). I’d sell them for a good price if interested.
26” front 28” rear looks best as long as you are careful with scraping.

Thanks, I have 17x4.5 wheels for the front and 15x10 rears. Just don’t want a bunch of wheel gap in the front wheel wells. I am lowered an inch so I don’t think a 26” will put my front end too low. That’s why I wanted to get some info from other people. Like Vortecd said I think a 28” might be to tall and look a little funny, especially with a 28 10.5 our back.

Phoenix 27s up front with the 28 bias rears my suggestion.

30's nice! What gears?

4.10s with the 8.8, now 4.0 with the Strange CJ 9"
Car will run 28-29" bias ply on track, and these 30" 325/45/18 Hoosiers were the best way to enjoy 965rwhp on the street. I'll have 17x11 beadlocks and the new MT 315/50/17 at 29.5" for street and roll use come spring.
Choose your rubber wisely, it has the most impact on using all the power we build $$$, and the power is the easy part.
Good luck.

If you're looking for a 27" street-legal "skinny", Mickey Thompson just released a 27X6.00R17LT in the Sportsman S/R line and will be releasing a 27X8.00R17LT in the Sportsman S/R line soon!
