17" Race Stars on front and rear? (pics)

[Mick Mach]

cant find any pics. I dont care to much for the 15" rear 17" front setup. and I run the M&H 325/17's. (still new) mainly goin for a different look as I know the 15" are more for drag racing.

I'm also thinking of 17s for the rear just for the street. Keep me from wearing on the drag radials.

Give me a couple of days and I'll snap a few pictures of mine. I have the 17x4.5 with M&H 185/55/17 on the front and 17x9.5 with MT 295/45/17 Drag radials in the rear. The car is in the garage on jack stands but as soon as I get the transmission back in I'll pull it out to get pictures.

alright! thats a nice 1/8 mile time in your sig!

Thanks, the 1/4 miles time is with stock convertor and the 1/8 mile is with Circle D stall convertor. Assuming the engine stays in one piece I am fully expecting to see 10.80's or a little better at my next track outing. I have been running it completely stock with just the blower, charge motion delete plates, gears and a tune. With the addition of convertor and higher shift points it picked up .5 and 5 mph over previous best in the 1/8. Since then I have added long tubes and lighter wheels and tires so I am anxious to see what it will run hopefully low 10.80's to high 10.70's.

I'm keeping an eye on this so I can see 17's on all four corners.

 

[whyask]

Will the 17's clear the GT500 Brembo's..????
