Proper Wheel Fitment for Drag Slicks
Okay, so I've searched and searched, doing some shopping for this season and Im looking at traction today.
As Ive mentioned before, suspension/handling and tires are not my strong point. I am looking for the best traction for this season, and looking to snap off some great 60 times.
One thing I have done in the past is usually follow the best .Shep, Brent, Jake, ect .
Well I noticed some guys out there run Hoosier QTP D.O.T. Drag Tires: 26.0'' x 9.50'' - 16''LT.
Im not big on tire sizes and Im trying to get smart on this stuff. What does these sizes reference and what am I going to need to make these wheels fit?
Here is what I've been reading about tire sizes:
Tire code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have a set of the 16 2G turbo wheels, can I make this work, and if so what size spacer would I need? Hell, I'm not even sure of the width on those wheels.
I'm going to pull power in the 9 second time frame, so I'm assuming this tire is where I need to go. Always open to suggestions guys.
Thanks for the help guys, been searching this topic and Im sure theres a ton out there, but cant really find these answers. Someone link me here?
