Drag rim/tires sizes without sway bar relocation

[RacerX]

Hey guys I was wondering what size rim and tire will fit without a sway bar relocation kit? Also I have brembos

The 8" do not require the relo bracket. The 10" wheels do require the bracket.

Well the Brembo's have nothing to do with the rears. But Weld makes a set of rims for the front just to fit over the Brembo's. And as above the 8" will not require the SBR. Although it is a cheap easy mod that will allow a larger tire.

With the sway bar relocation. Quick and easy and not a big deal, your just moving the sway bar up a little and cutting down a little of the bracket.

If not I can get you the 8's and knock off about $20.00.

I would go 10" for sure

I will be ordering some weld RT-s rears. I have fronts now...

I hook better and get better 60' times with a 275/60 on a 15x8 than I did with a 325/50 on a 15x10. (Both ET Street radials.) Just food for thought.

If you went 15x10 w/ the 275/60 you would probably hook even better. The 325/50 is a hugh/heavy tire. It's too big in my opinion for a 3v car unless your in the 700+rwhp range.

I considered it, but after speaking with someone at Mickey Thompson, I was convinced that the tire would perform well for me on an 8" wide rim. I was also told that I might actually suffer a bit if I went with a rim wider than 9.5". Not sure if there's anything to it, but I've been satisfied with the way the setup performs so far. Thanks for the advice though.

...and I agree with you about the 325 radial. It's too much weight and too much tire unless you're pushing serious horsepower. Not only that, but I've seen what 275s are capable of in 275X class, and that's more than I'll ever need, lol.

No doubt it works well
