Almost air under the tires...ALMOST!

Car looks great Laura. Those wheels and tires make it look so mean! Great choice!

 

[Wicked GT]

Very Nice!

 

[VTXFrank]

Car looks hot as hell Laura! Keep at it. I bet you get a tire off the ground this year!

 

[JP229]

Very nice! Wheels really set that car off! Favorite white s197 for sure! haha

Stang looks great regardless

You can just make out the wrinkles on both rear tires. Great pic and great launch.

Thank you everone for the wonderful comments. I am definitely glad I chose the wheels. Thanks to JPC!

Rear tires are the 275-40/15 MT ET Streets. I was hitting 1.7 60's. My first run was pretty shaky since it was my first time at this track and I was nervous as hell with the new wheel set up. But once I let her rip on the first run, I was fine. I was launching at 5k. I need to get her up to 6k so I don't bog so much between 1st and 2nd. The bad clutch doesn't help either. Oh well.......

 

[Daniel Day]

275/40? They look bigger than that.

 

[Croft]

Yep, 26" tall tires.

 

[Daniel Day]

Weird. I ran 275/50/15 555Rs on my 15x10 Racestars and they looked tiny compared to yours, lol. Yours looks perfect.

Car is looking hot kid-o... will not be long and I bet you hang the hoops.

 

[Boss281]

They're the 26x11.5x15 ET Streets, which I THINK translates to roughly the same sized 275/40 series ET Street radial she used to use. I'll have to check the math...

Car looks great Laura! Good times as well!

 

[IHVOCD]

A 275/40/17 is a 26" tire so a 275/40/15 would be a 24" tire.

Car looks great. I was close to getting a tire off the ground last fall. I think if I had Bogarts and skinnies on the front I would have done it. THe big 18x9's on the front were holding it down like an anchor. lol.

Thank you for that clarification. Math isn't my favorite subject, lol. I hope to have her up by the end of the season.

Damn! Your car is looking mighty fine!

I think you just sold me on those Weld's

That would make it about equilavent to a 275-50 not a 40...or that would only make the tire 23.66" tall
