Drag wheel ideas

Ok man, have a buddy stand outside and record you haulin ass by too. Like just be cruisin along like 30-40 and then mash it before you pass the camera, it will sound sexy and you'll look like a badass lol

The cruise by might take till the weekend to get, but we'll get these done for you. Thankfully there's back roads with little cop activity near me for these videos

Dont do anything stupid and be safe... we have all done it one time or another but be safe about it and watch for moving animals. There has been more then a few totaled trucks taking videos.

ahhh, to be 16 again. God I hope I don't see this truck wrapped around a tree.

Hell, when I was 16 (or getting close to it) - I had a friend at school who had saved up about 25K (damn farmers!) and he bought a brand new Z-28. This was back in 93-94 timeframe. First night out........110mph into a tree. I don't know how the **** he survived.........

Ok, I have a question for all of you. Should I get a set of take offs from like a ram slt or should I get a nice looking set of drag/lighter-weight wheels?


Anybody know if I can use charger/challenger wheels on my truck?

 

[garner]

Quick question, I looked at my tires and they are 285 wide, what rim width is this? I googled it and got anywhere from a 8" wide - 10" wide wheel, also dodge doesn't have the 22" wheels under the R/T specs

 

[Silverbullet08]

most likely its 22x9

That's what I was thinking.


Well my wheel plan is this, depending if a deal on here with tiknightz works then I'll get his factory wheels and srt-10 brake adapters for my wheels and I'll get a set of 24x9.5 or 24x10 for daily driving like this truck, 2009 Dodge Ram Laramie - 24 Inch Rims - Truckin' Magazine

 

[Silverbullet08]

yea thats a good plan i just dont know if i would do 24s

ill take your 22s though

To me the 22s look to small and the 24s on that truck look right at home, just gotta look at tire price Holy crap, $1300 a set for 305 35R 24s compared to $800 for the 22s

How much for them? 1100 miles on the tires, wheels are in perfect condition and impossible to find. Tires are 285 45R 22

 

[Silverbullet08]

yea ties for 24s are $$

idk shoot me a price of what your thinking.

I'll look at stuff cause the only reason I was selling was for 24s, but they're expensive so I'll see what I come across

Not a big fan of those 24's. You sure those red wheel would look good on your truck?

Not those exact wheels, but I like how they fill the wheel wells without looking to big like the escalades with 28s do. I'd get different wheels than those, and the red is a removable ring that you can get in different colors. This is what those look like without the red ring, http://www.emsaradmin.com/giovanna_wheels/productphotos/wheels_63-m.jpg

Nice sig pics btw

One other thing, 24's weigh alot more, and your truck will definately bog down a lil due to they're increased size and weight. I put 22's on a 3.7L 2004 dodge ram RCSB, from 17's. Top speed went from somewhere around 100 to like 80. Granted it was a 3.7L, but it made a huge difference. Alot of rotational mass in 24's. I bet they would look pretty good though!

If I do go 24s, I'll get some lighter weight ones so the mass difference won't be so much. I'll probably also upgrade brakes when I do wheels

24's with a wide tire would make it handle a bit better on the road the, straight line racing will suck balls though
