Drag setup coming up for sale and MT 265/40-18; CLS AMG Reps with BFG KDW2 rubber

I bought the CCW set for the front skinny's and that will be my permanent street strip setup going forward.




I will be using the front ccw skinny setup this coming weekend at silver dollar with the rear clk320 rims and hoosier drags.

Items that I will be selling in the upcoming week:
  • like new MT 265-40-18 drags (Kent said he just mounted them, super low miles)

  • CLK rims with brand new hoosiers, used mickey thompson tires and possibly H&R 20mm wheel adapters to make them work. They have fresh paint on them and look great.





  • 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 CLS AMG reps with like new BFG KDW2's (500 miles on setup), not a scratch on them! Tires are 215/35-18 (nice and light) and 285/30-18 (low profile for quicker acceleration)





pm me or email chawkins2001@gmail.com

Redbulljunky has dibs on the clk setup until next Sunday

You are a nut!!!

Are you buying the rear CCW's too? If so, why not run the matched set? I know the CLK's are 16", but the CCW is probably a lot lighter.

ccw is a boat anchor compared to the clk rims. they weigh 13 lbs each and with the hoosiers tips the scales at 36 lbs

Pretty sure he is running the matched set of CCWs... Just switching out the MTs that are on the rears for the Hoosiers .. Or maybe hes just keeping the MTs on the back. He switches every week its hard to keep track.

I had no idea the CLK wheels were so light. That is amazing. I love the hoosiers. Never used a new set.. the old ones I have worked very well. I look forward to the new set, and see how those hook. Good luck next weekend Craig!! If I am not mistaken, you are going to track!!??

the ccw 18s with the 265/40-18 only weigh 40lbs. I am going to put the Hoosier 16s on the clk rims and run those with the skinny s upfront. I do plan to pull the 265 MT tires off the ccw rears, sell the ties and buy bfg drags in 295/35-18 for a fatter tire and less sidewall for quicker acceleration.

My wife says I am crazy all the time, so you are starting to know me pretty well Dane yes I am going to silver dollar dragway next Saturday with muscle car evolution, local forum that rented the track.

Thanks mang. I am hoping to see some daylight under my front skinnies more than anything else. Pulling the front wheels in front of all the mustang and vette boys would be game over
