Number Tew Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Lol!I was reading in the other thread about the true-trac from detroit. How streetable is it, legitimately. Is it going to piss me off and make all kinds of weird noises?Will it handle better? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom351R Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Like I said, I don't wanna worry about it breaking.Will 275 slicks fit on an 8" wheel, I know the side wall will be bubbling a lot but from what I've been told that's good for slicks? My Mickey Thompson 275 DR's fit on my weld 8" wheels. I run 15X8 slicks on that same wheel and a 15X10 will fit on a 8" wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Sweet, like I said, the slicks would only be the once in a blue moon I go to the track with the fellas. I don't wanna be the street tires at the track guy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revhead347 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I ran 10" slicks on a 7.5" wheel a few times. It was fucking scary. Spending the extra dough on 10" wheels was definately worth it.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I wish I could run a setup like that..... as long as I could keep my bigger brakes. That looks sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revhead347 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 lol tire wobble top end?Yeah, real bad. I've run 275 drag radials on an 8" rim and that was fine, but it wasn't fine with real slicks. Maybe I just have a huge gaping vagina, but that car was all over the place past about 100 mph. I had to let out a little past the 1000' marker, or I was going to fill my trousers.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Tew Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yea, that looks nasty!Justin, if I can get a deal, that's the route I'll take. That still using the stock rear end, just a new differential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still using the stock rear end, just a new differential?Yea, stock rear end housing, just the differential and 31 spline axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revhead347 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Makes perfect sense to be honest. Ive heard that running skinnies makes the wobble a lot less as well for w/e reason.That too. I ran 245 tires up front and that was really bad too. Getting skinnies helped a lot. Big tires up front fight the back tires too much. I only ran the proper combination once at the track, and unfortunately my locker was fried, so I had to go off idle basically. It still got up to around 112mph, and was real steady. I just have to fix my transmission and rear end, and I can go to the track and give it the full beans with the bottle and everything. I can't wait.Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
