Well my old BFG's are finally dead and looking for new sticky rubber.
The BFG's were giving me some spin and i was thinking of going to M/T ET streets but am scared that the 26-11.5-16's
will not fit, does anybody have any feedback on weather the 26-10.5-16's will still hook better than the BFG's?
Or if the 11.5's will actually fit with my stock 16" laced (disc brake wheels)?
My best 60ft w/BFG's hooking was 1.73, should i just go w/BFG's
again - did they lose bite as they wear? will new ones be better?

Thanks for any info.

 

Im not sure about the fit, but the will grip very well. The down side is that they wear very fast. Softer=better grip=shorter lasting tires

 

Not sure of the fit question...I ran 26-11.5 15s on my 97SS on 15x10s, and it cleared that. BFGs tend to hook best when worn, so if you go to new BFGs I doubt you'll see any improvement, and possibly reduced traction. I would go with ET Streets on something that serious...you will probably be a lot more consistent, and see better 60ft times and reduced ETs.

 

Thanks for the replies guys,
Ill be going w/the 26x11.5 16" - i should be able to make them fit
i think.

 

With the right backspace it shouldn't be a problem.

 

Well its going to be with the stock wheels,currently with the 255
50x16's BFG's I have about 1/2" clearance between tire and
inner wheelwell . probably nothing a hammer and 1/4 wheel spacer should not cure

 

Do you have a website with pics of both your cars? I'd love to see them...sound very interesting!

 

Well for some reason all of the pictures i have are to big to post on this board and i have yet to get a website.
but i could e-mail them to you,like to see yours also.

It hasn't been updated in forever, and none of the performance numbers are accurate for the combo that was in the car when I last updated it...the new cam (GTP6) really woke it up. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to dyno the car before I decided to sell it and started putting it back stock.
