My question is I have my original 18x8" - 18X9" wheels and a nice lightweight set of 19x9" - 19x10.5" which actually weight the same as the 18" set.

Which set is better for the Strip?

Thanks
Take the set with bigger rear tires. If you are rocking 245s on the 18s then forget it. Id go with the 19s and 275s (or bigger if you have bigger tires). And for all that are wondering... 325's do fit on the 19" sport rays. I had a friend add them to his 19s

Also, Ive noticed when I pull up to the tree on the drag strip, with the 7AT, you can mash the brake and accel to about 2500-3k without wheel spin and you will get a nice little launch. Try with traction on and off for varied times. I lowered my time by about .2-.4 seconds by this method. Good luck!
