Cool

I spoke with them on monday and they told me it will be december untill they come out.But they also have been telling me just a few more months for over a year now also!I decided to try a 17x10 inch rim with the nitto 315 35 17 inch tire.I have talked to a few LS1 boys that use these and prefer them over all drag radial sizes and E.T streets.Hopefully by friday i will get a chance to try them out!

Bob,
I have had 3 different 16 inch drag tires ranging from 25.6 to 26.1 inches tall and have never had to have the shift point changed for any of them only if you wish to have your speedometer programmed for it.This 17 inch tire is 25.8 inches tall and is a very wide tire around a 1.5 inches wider than our f1's are and should hook up great is what i have been told compared to the other tires i have tried.

do you have a quote on the 17 tires? I would be nice to find aftermarket rims that look just like the L rims but 17.

The nitto 315's are very pricey because of the size of them they go for around $190 and i am using the 208 17x10 Rage rim sold at discount tire for $192 each and they are a 5 spoke rim just like our 18 inch is.They are not the same look as ours but do give it the same type of appearance though.
