I have another set of HR rims as stated above (rim size 19/10 with +44 offset) that I plan to put drag radials on to swap the back Rays out for drag days if the rims fit well enough. They can't be strictly Drag use only tires because I will have to drive to the track.

depends on how far the track is really. I mean if it's not really far a short drive wont destroy the tires.

I thought you meant DD on the DR's. my bad lol

Yeah, DD drags would be a big waste of $$. The track is 1/4 mi is 50 mins away. The 1/8 is 30 mins away.

yea personally I wouldn't go that far on them just to preserve the lifespan of the tire.

I have been looking and researching what rear wheels I would want (and can fit) to make a drag set-up. I would just have someone follow me with a jack and tools to swap them out at the track.

I don't have anyone that willing. That's "retarded" in there opinion. Why drive 50 minutes, help lug tires in and out of the car to watch you have fun as I sit around people stare at light, smoke and junk for hours.

Anyhoo, that;s why I think the nt05 might be the right choice. Now for the wheel hop.

ahh that sucks. maybe find some local car guys who go and maybe one takes a truck or something.


as for wheel hop that's someone else's department. I never had it so I don't know what you need to fix it.
