Drag Radials

treessavoy · 04-06-2009, 07:13 PM

I would like to know what size rims I should use with 9 by 30 drag radials. Hoosier says either 8 or 10 inch rims but I would like some input from users. Thanks, Jim

I have the M/T wheels 8" with 4 1/2 back spacing. M/T 30x9 with 94" rollout. When I bought the car it had 10" convo pro's on it BUT it had wheel spacers on both sides...2 on drivers 1 on pass! I run no spacers now.

I have 10" Holeshot wheels with 9" lightweight Hoosier radials weighing 3,540+ lbs.
A wider rim should allow more for more pressure, stability and sidewall life.
