Pics of my new Draglites!!

[Highroller]

Well this was taken 2 minutes after install, I will of course wash my pile and take better ones but I wanted to get at least one out there!!

just so you know here is the set up

Weld 15 X 10 back rim with 275/60/15 Nitto 555 D/R
Weld 15 x 4 front tire with 165's ($30 Pep Boy specials)
7/16 Spacers for the front
Mcgard Deep Chrome Lug Nuts

Everything seemed to go on fine, the fronts studs had more then 7 threads to work with, and cleared the caliper fine, I was going to switch the studs out to the ARP ones that everyone recommends but I'm waiting for a while.. It seemed like they were on their good

Here's a picture, yeah I know its dirty as hell, its been raining for a week

Highroller,

How is to drive in normal daily driving? My stang is not my daily driver, but it does not spend a whole lot of time at the track either. I was thinking about gettnig your setup but was hasitant on driveability, because I don't want to switching wheels on a regular basis.

Great looking car

Well I think as of now I can't give you the best answer, I will come back in a couple days and let you know.. since its raining I only drove it down the street and back to make sure everything is o.k, I am going to lower it roughly 1.5 inches this weekend, and I think that will help my car feel more in control...

Right now the front end feels good, it's easier to turn and I'm told not to take turns outragously fast... I just "putt" around town and to the track so Im loving it.. I think if your the type that loves to blast through a canyon... these 4" rims are not for you!!

Lastly my ABS light came on this morning and when that happens it automatically turns of traction control.. something to think about!! I'm my eyes it just saves me from reaching over and clicking my traction control button every time I start the car

looks much better now -
Awesome set up. I'm going to do rears like that soon also, but maybe the Weld Stars (the skinny ones)

Why the ABS light ?

 

[Slapyo]

looks pretty good. how much did the wheels cost ya? where did you get them from?

 

[Highroller]

Got everything from Jeggs, except for the springs which I got from tire rack...
(again, the springs are yet to be installed)
I think the fronts were running like 120 a piece, backs were like 170 ish..



I think I got the ABS light because my wheels are not the same size anymore and its messing up the ABS sensor. Not sure which ones are doing it the front or the back, but I say its probally the back..

 

[JLstang351]

Man THem tires are massive! That looks wicked! Do you have to have 10" wheels to fit those 275/60? IM thinking about going w/ pro-stars but i really like those draglites!

 

[NasaGT]

Sweet!!!

I was planning on going with a 325 BFG, at the last second I changed to the 275.. kind of glad I did, to me the tires look monsterous!!!

but I know I will be able to really use this Torque Converter now!


Here is a picture of the 325 BFG on a weld 15 x 10 rim
