Putting drag radials on the S197-
What has worked for racers
Who makes the best rubber

So far my 1st choice is steeda 18*10" light weight rims and nitto 555R dragradials at 285/35/18 which causes me to loose 3/4" of height in the rear so a reprogram will be necessary.
Anyone have better ideas?

I have some bolt on mods, and gained about 40 HP. I have the M/T drag radials,on stock GT 17" wheels, same height as stock, and so far they dropped my et .4 tenths. Was 13.64 on street tires, now 13.24 on drag radials. I think if you have more HP, go with a smaller rim, but the tall tire, so you can get more sidewall flex. Better hook up. But anyway you you go, the drag radials are worth the $$.  Dennis
