17" Drag Radials

Ok goin to get a set for the wagon . Anyone have input for a size that fits. I'd like 27/28"s tall. Have Impala SS 17" rims. I spun the 255's the other day in the rain so ya know the car is making some power . Actually leaning more to the 28s to help kill a little bit of the rear gear. So any mods to make it fit ??

or just ignore the abs and get the rears only

the fronts are new 255s .. 27"s tall. Now you know I know nothing about newer cars like this. How will this effect the "abs" ??? Do most guys in here just run street tires ?? What would be the best "SS" site for stuff like this ??

m/t et drag radials 275/40 17. they hook really good on or off the track.. iam running them now.

I cut a 1.7 60' with ET streets (not 17's but you get the idea).

I swear by those tires 96slowss has...

i got a 2.0 60' with all stock drivetrain on those tires. went fron 14.5s to 14.2s by just the tires.. i love em and they ride really good on the street..

Thanks for the replys guys. Really wanted to stay with a taller tire (28") to kill some of the rear gear. Looks like the M&H is the only game in town for 28s. I have M&Hs on my RX7 but havent tried them out yet. My daughters car did 1.4 60's with M/T 275/60/15s in a 3700# Buick so I think they should work fine on the wagon. Only thing I am worrying about is tire clearance. Anyone else use 28s or know someone who has?? I did have to use Mr. "BIG" Hammer on the RX7 to clearance a little here an there. I was hoping the 28s will fit without "making" them

I ran a 295/65 15 on the caprice no prob

GREAT !!! So these M&Hs should be fine. If they don't fit Ill give ya a call Just doin a few mods over the winter an have it ready for NED in April !! Along with this Mazda beater I have been slowly picking away at.

I would run 275/50/17s for a drag radial.

ya the M&Hs are the only ones I can find. 9.5 tread width hopefully will fit . Have to get this GN out of my garage an work on my OWN stuff ! Thanks again Oh do 17" SS rims show up for sale often?? This $$$$ pit is growing already

M/Ts do have them now.. 295/45r17.........27.3" DiA. !!!!!!!!!

heres a pic of the car with the 295/65 15's...

Must get good mileage running downhill Thanks for the info guys.. What are 17" SS rims worth ??

Im not positive...but I would guess a GOOD clean set will bring 500-600?
