I see. I want the extra set for the track only.... I just didn't know
what would get the job down without breaking the bank.... My buddy with
his FHP 5.0 wants to buy a cheap set of 15s and Mickey Thompsons... I
figure with the bed I would easily haul my extra rims to the track,
change them out, and run for the night.... I see a few 5.0s doing this.
Since the R/T is a daily driver. I would like to keep 'er that way in
the tires, i.e. no skinnies nutz..... Thanks. Any recommendations on
the 15s???? Did you use the Dak 15x7 or the 15x8 like the sport and
Durango have????

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.
