Just want to make sure i didn't fuck up before i buy. Obviously this setup is for the track.

Thanks.

Nice choice of wheels.
I wouldn't use bias ply drag tires with radials on the front. But, that's just me.

How come? That's what I was planning on doing........

(Unstable?).......

My experience with drag racing is minimal. I don't want to get into a situation I can't get out of.
Those are the exact wheels I'm going to buy. I'll be using drag radials instead.

Yeah, I like those wheels. Ray - So does that mean you will be going with these Mickey Thompsons?

They can't be that much worse than an ET Street. Right?
Also, could you use the ET Street Radials on the road (during the summer) too?

[-Ray-]

You can use the ET Riadials to drive to the track. They are DOT approved. I wouldn't want to though. If I can't get a trailer for my car, I'll be swapping them when I get there. Don't want to waste the rubber on the street getting there.
Some people may be fine swapping bias ply and radials. I just won't be doing it.

Your good. Its what I am smoking now instead of the 19s. :devil:

Here's a good thread (read) in a Grand National forum that talks about Mickey Thompson ET Street vs. ET Street Radial (tires). I.E. - Bias Ply vs. Radial..........

I'm still not sure which ones to go with? :hmm:

It all depends on your hp level and suspension set-up. The ET streets are more "forgiving" on cars whose suspensions are not adjusted effectively, but they cost you mph on top end due to sidewall deflection and distortion. The ET Street Radial is way more stable on top end but not as forgiving in the 60'. That is where hp also comes in, if you aren't , excuse the phrase, "one of the heavy hitters" you shouldn't have to worry about the slight difference in initial traction. As one of the others said, you can drive it to the track but neither of them have much tread life and every mile you put on them on the highway decreases the life expectancy and effectiveness at the track. One last little tidbit though, the ET Street Radial will last longer at the track compared to the ET Street. What wears out on slicks (of any type) is the sidewall, not the footprint, and since the sidewall does all of the work in an ET Street, it is the first to die

Ktlplxm:

Thanks for the reply, that was a lot of good information. I'm thinking I should probably go with the MT ET Streets bias ply vs. the MT ET Street Radials, becuase I am spinning like crazy for the 1st 90'

1st gear is pretty much useless with the stock tires at the drag strip.

I may not be one of the "Heavy Hitters" or Neo the chosen one, but I do make a good amount of HP & TQ at the wheels....... :)

I talked to discount tire and they told me they can't get a hold of that wheel but they can get they same wheels but 17x11. So great, this is starting to get real fucking annoying. I don't want to spend 150+ per wheel just to use at the track. Guess ill start calling some junk yards or some shit.

The offset on the 17x9.5s might be too high.

I KNOW that an F-Body 17x9 with an offset of 50 will fit on a G8.

I KNOW that the Vette 18x9.5 from the 97-98-99 Vettes will fit (I think the offset is 54).

I've had those rims on my car.

I made two passes with the 18s.

Just as heads up, check the tireless balance on those wheels before mounting a tire. Also check the roundness and run out of the wheel. We stopped selling Replica Alloys due to A LOT of balance problems (and I do mean alot). We would chase vibrations, re-balance, only to find the wheel itself was out of round, then because a tire had been mounted they wouldn't do anything about it. Just a warning. Best of luck

Edit: What should i torque these too? 90 correct?

[edmanet]

So your offset is +2 higher then mine. No hub ring.... is that needed?

I believe its needed to center the wheel on the hub. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. But I also believe if you don't have a vibration at speed you don't need one.

Yeah that +2 might be a killer.

As long as there's no rub...the worse that could happen is a vibration at high speed.

You should test those before you go to the track. I would drive to the nearest highway and drive for a few miles at 70-80 mph to see if you have a vibration. Better to know before you go to the track.

Can you be more specific? Do they rub somewhere?

The rim itself doesn't rub. It just misses the bolt at the bottom inside fender well and the front inner fender well. But with the 275/40/17 DRs mounted the tires rub in a bunch of places. I was told I needed a 1/4 to 1/2 inch spacer to make the rims work and he doesn't believe in spacers.

If the rim was 17x9 it would work or if the backspacing was was less than 56.
So yeah that +2 screwed me.

The size is 17x9 with a 50 offset. The 9.5s rub and the 56 is way too much. I have 9.5s, but they are not that type of wheel.

Nice. Now run me an 11.


There is a post in this section for the actual manufacturer of them that I posted that sells them. Tell me you love me! http://www.wheelreplicas.com/zr1ss.htm

I know. I can't find anyone who wants to go half with me. It's $589 for 4. Anyone want to split the costs ??? I'll buy them.

are you running a drag radial or et street? The Drag Radial shouldn't drive any worse, unless of course the wheel isnt centered on the hub

How much air? Try 18-20 on the street and 18 1st pass at the track. They are meant to go straight only. If you havent had them it is an experience for sure!

ET Street, i upped the pressure to 28, drives better now. I was just trying to get a feel for the tire before the track.

So Charlie, 18psi on the first pass? What would you run the fronts at? Stock tire on the front.

28 psi is way too high for that tire. Its not a radial. They are so soft you will wear the centers out fast. Try 22. I run 16-18, but I am use to the U-boat sensation. The fronts on the street for your factory 19s 37-38 and at the track 48-50.

Yes i am slowly getting used to the u-boat sensation LOL. Alright i'll lower them to 22.

So if i head to milan 2marrow and just to put myself at ease...

18 psi for the rears
48 for the fronts,

Correct?

From the wheel replica email.
Sorry we no longer do SS style wheels.

I just bought a set of used 17x8 GTO rims. I pick them up

Are you driving on the ETs? Only put 37-38 in the fronts for the drive there. Once you get there 18 and 48 is correct.

If you want to get an idea for shipping, here are the package dimensions:

OOH DO I get to say told ya so? Nah jk, That does suck though. Hopefully you can clean the wheels up enough to send them back or pass them onto someone with an Fbody

I actually called it first, in this thread.

Can someone help clarify this thread.

Will a 17 x 9 ZR-1 style wheel with a 50mm offset work?
Do I need different lugs for the wheel to fit?
