Interested in what people wiser than me think. Picked up a set of used M&H drag radials in 275/45/18 for my 2012 GT (auto with a tune). On their website M&H recommends a 10” wide wheel so I got a pair of 18”x10” FR 500s from American Muscle.
Once installed I thought the wheels looked little wide for the tires (see the pics). Track personnel at the strip concurred, used the word “scary” and suggested a beadlock. While I don’t think the tires/wheels are unsafe the point is the tires don’t look right for the rims.
Tire performed as expected. Plenty of traction, 60 ft went down, picked up about tenth (corrected to sea level). Will update my post in the drag racing section will all that info.
Again interested in opinions. Hope the pics are good enough. Thanks.
