    Getting rid of those pizza cutter 19” wide drag radials, these should hook up.

    You could fit three of my tires back there and still have room for a spliff wedged between em all. 15x6” lol

    Yes the rear end is narrowed, custom rear frame, 10” added to each wheel well. The body was cut apart and re welded to fit 33” tires, major surgery was required. New tires are 20” wide, but true slicks vs drag radials.

    I use these little 31x16.5-15 tires on the street.

    Sean,

    Can you measure the real height and width of those 31" tires you have? I have another car with the 29x15.5 and was thinking I could stuff those under there. My 29's are about 1" shorter and narrower then advertised and are on a 12" rim.
    Thank you
    Layne

    Hi yes good point! The 31” tall tires measure out at 30.30 with a 18” wide rim.

    The 33” tall rated tires are 32.20” tall on a 18” wide rim.

    At 1000 HP I would expect the tires to grow a lot.

    Little tire.....lol

    I would love to be about to fir a 29.5x10.5 or 29x11...

    Little tire......lol. so far we use a 30x9 or 29x10, seems like much over a 12" section width isn't going to work for me......
