tire size for the dragstrip

[joeshemi]

I know im stuck with the factory 20's for awhile but i was wondering what you guys thought was a good setup(rimsize/tire size) for getting good times at the strip with good streetability.

Are you talking track wheels only? 17" wheels with 26" drag radials would be best. It would help your final gear ratio and give you some good traction.

Maybe a dumb question but would you have 17's on the front as well?

No, just turn the traction control off with a tuner, not the button on the dash, otherwise you'll confuse the ABS. I'm not sure if you can just pull the abs fuse on these trucks. It may look like an old 60's gasser with the front end pointed in the air though, lol. The only thing I would be concerned with is you are already lowered, going from 32" to 26" tires will lower the back another 3 inches, make sure you have room.

Looks like a different bolt pattern according to a google search. Ram's are 5x5.5.
