I am planning on switching from ZR1's to some Drag Wheels soon. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on them. I was probably going to go with some Summit brand 15x3.5 and 15x10 wheels since they are cheap and seem to be made well. I am planning on running MT ET Drag Radials out back. I have LS1 brakes which I think have to be ground, and I have longer studs in the rear axles.

Tips?

grinding is fun... look over at the ls1tech forums to see how much you have to grind on the ls1 brakes (the one in the faq has the lt1 brakes). I used a permanent marker to see if I needed to grind more...

Cut out the bump stops completely.....

You might need longer studs for the front... some say with the spacer on the front (which you will need) that you need longer studs... some say you don't and get away with it..... if you do run longer studs and you have closed lug nuts on your street wheels, you have to run open lugs which are fugly...

get a 26" tall tire.. you don't have enough gear to run 28's.

since you have the skinnies as well.. why not run m/t drags and put bias plys on the skinnies? they are alot stickier, and dont require as much of a burn out after the first one...

I friend of mine has pretty much your setup, minus ewp and underdrive pulley and your suspension, and he runs 255 (or something around there) m/t radials on some salad shooters and runs a 7.7 in the 1/8
