I've had 275-40-17 nt05r's and got low 1.7x and maybe a high 1.6x 60', I just bought some 26x11.50 17 et streets but haven't had a chance to try them out yet but I'm sure they will hook my car.

They are skinny. 9.5" tire is the same size as a 245. 10.5" tire is a 275. I run a 275/50 on a 8" wide rim and gets the job done.

m/t et drags do not need huge burnouts to hook, they are made to just be slightly hazed, stage and then..HOOK

^^^ That's a small wheel for that tire!

It works like a bawss tho, lol. I bought the pair for 200 bucks and they had 5 passes on them and could not pass up the opportunity. i bought the wheels for 40 bucks a piece and i cured my wheelhop..(on the dragstrip lol)
