Right now on my Bogarts I have a 28" tire on the rear and a 26" (maybe 25") on the front. These are the tires that came with the rims when I bought them used. I need a taller tire or less gear to bring the RPMs down at the line. I also don't like how low the front of the car sits with the 26" tire on the front.

How do y'all think 29" tires front and back would look and fit on the race wheels?

That looks awesome. Can't be very practical for street, but good looking none the less. A taller tire should fit on the front, going to be close on the rear

Had to know that was coming. Leave it. It's looks great the way it is lol. My fronts are 27 with k springs and I've got about a 1" gap so 29" might be pushing it.

Agreed looks awsome.. Are you going to drive a lot on the street with this set? If only on the strip then I wouldnt touch a thing, but you
mentioned that you need to bring the RPMs higher,. Do the rear tires have a lot of meat on them? If so then just change the gear.. You can go 29” but in my opinion anything above 28” doesn't look too big for the car

Ooops.. anything above 28” DOES look too big for the car

I think 29" rears are fine. Fronts, too tall, maybe a 28" if u can find one that height.

Paul may run a 29" on his BBF machine.

Paul's car - on 29.5" rear - I can't seem to find what front runners he's using.
