Last time I ran my car was on stock wheels and I think it was 275 35 18s BFG G force drag radials. Awesome setup btw.

Wondering what the drag racers are running these days. What choices do we have? I dont want a larger diameter tire then stock. I saw a killer setup with some CCW 16" rears with some hoosier tires.

Im thinking of my same wheels but in 18" and run the BFG again for that killer stealth look. But, I would like to go with a smaller 16" or 17" rim setup.

What are you guys running? Hope everyone has an awesome weekend

A search would reveal a lot of information. Im feeling kind though, so I guess Ill fill you in.. All the serious drag guys are running 16" wheels off the w208 clk. For tires either MT streets or Hoosiers will work (255/50/16).. You will also need some spacers with the clk wheels. Anything between a 15-20 mm spacer would work.

im running 275-40-17 nittos nt05r on replicas ....1.752 ---- 60 foot ,,i like it so far

Not a 211 but I run the 211 ccw 16" drags on my S600. Bought them from a forum member. Damn do they hook!

I just bought the same exact ones off of Urbanworm for my E55. Wish I had a set of matching fronts. Debating if I want to drop 1K to have them made.

I've got the 16" wheels from the CLK. Probably the lightest wheel you can find.

Most cost effective setup is the clk rims (13lbs) mounted with either hoosier 26" slicks or hoosier drags 255/50/16.

You also need h&r wheel adapters, 20mm.

I have clk rims to sell if interested homey.

That's what Im talking about! Awesome pics bud! 1.72? Im thoroughly impressed from the 17" nittos.

Awesome setup. Love the 600 stockC43, I really dig the CCW's.



Hey PAS6201, I saw them for sale and I was like then it was like when I scrolled down to see they were sold.

Front skinnies would look great not to mention the decrease in ET & increase in MPH!!

Sounds good Craig! I'll shoot you a pm bud. Sean TheRicker has a set of them. Ive heard great things. Do you have a pic? Wonder how they look with the tires on a car.

Slicks woud be awesome for the fast guys, You really need a high stall to take advantage of the wrinkle wall action, not to mention the increase in boost!

Ive been eyeing the hoosier drag setup. Ideally you want to run the narrowest tire you can and still hook. Always used that rule of thumb in all my cars at the track and has never failed.

Max.H

Yo denroll, What tires are you running?? I bet your 60 foots are pretty good.

Denroll

I've got Mickey Thompsons on there now. They were on the wheels when I got them and I don't know how much use they had prior to. 60 foot times are OK for the track at Qualcomm stadium.

Might try the Hoosier slicks next.

ya the nt05r are very good compare to the nt555

My buddies ran the old Nitto NT555 drag radials before and were not that impressed. The BFG G force always seemed to hook substantially better.

But, now I will have to give the NT05R a closer look. Im digging the look of your 17" concavity out back to match your fronts. That's exactly what I wanted to do with my car.... Thank You for "contributing" to the forum and helping make this a cool place to come hang out and learn about the cars we all love.
