Jason, after doing this myself I recommend you don't use your spare + 1
to mount BRG Drag Radials. The ONLY 17" size they make is 25.5" dia
compared to stock 27". NO side wall area. I've seen the regular 15" Dak
wheels with 15" drag radials(many sizes,Huge sidewalls)and if I did this
over, that's the route I'd go. I wanted matching rims for stealth, but
the cost/performance ratio is a bit lopsided compared to the 15" set.
Also, the shorter sidewall actually takes my 3.92 and puts it in the low
4's. I would have prefered to go the other way with the ratio, say in
the 3.50 range. Anyway,Drag Radials are sticky and can be run legally on
the street, although the mileage is somewhere around 2,500 mi. a set.
