Anyone tried BFG Drag Radials yet?

I ordered a set of BFGoodrich 275 35 18 drag radials and they look huge. They are about an inch and a half wider then a 265. I'm looking for a set of 9" stock wheels to mount them on.

Has anyone ran these on a stock wheel?

Yes, they worked perfect. I ran them on my stock E55 wheels once at the track and loved them. But, I needed an LSD and the car would hook better.

Is your car heavily modded? I would think 90 percent of E55s should dead hook on a drag radial.

All stock. It did dead hook It could have hooked even better. It was peg leg burnout. No bueno. Other then that they are awesome and sleeper looking. I hate those ugly *** clk wheels, people use, I dont care what it does, it looks terrible.
