HC front runners?

[AlleyCat]

I ordered two. The box states 18*5.5 instead of 18*5. The bolt pattern by eye looks ok. I have not taken off the wheel yet to test fit them. The Chinese numbers do not match the ordering numbers. But sometimes that is normal.

Which wheels did you order?

 

[AlleyCat]

Just the basic racestars. I took a tape measure and from inner lip to inner lip it is 5 inches. I do not know why the box states 18 x 5.5. probably all is ok

 

[Markp]

What is the part number? 18x5 is correct.

 

[AlleyCat]

92-850445. But I do not see those numbers on the wheel.

 

[Markp]

You must have got the recluse front runners not the dark stars or drag stars?

 

[AlleyCat]

Definitely the racestars.

 

[Markp]

Sorry my mistake I misread the part number. These are the specs for your wheel maybe they just put them in the wrong box?

One way to find out is to get my lazy butt off the couch tomorrow morning to do a test fit. The Hoosier tires are on back order. I hope these will help me finally hook. Spinning to 80 mph at 6500 da I got a 10.1 at 140.1.

Hoosiers is different, most go with the M&H or Mickeys for the fronts

 

[AlleyCat]

That should not matter. As I am asking about the wheels. Mickey's are radials and weigh as much as some front full sized tires. The Hoosiers are 4 pounds lighter per tire than the M and H. They are on back order due to excessive demand.

I just did a test fit on the wheels. They fit. But are almost up on the calipers. But when the tire is on I assume they will clear by a bit more. The weights will have to be put on by the front part of the backside of the rim due to clearance issues. I am happy I decided to sweat some this morning and do a test fitting.

 

[vortecd]

Just was commenting on why the Hoosiers and you said 4 pound lighter so I see why

 

[vortecd]

I wish Hoosier would come out with a 28" drag radial for a 17 or 18 wheel. I was told they will be but no time frame

 

[AlleyCat]

They do. I was running an 18 inch 30.2 inch one in the back. They have various 17 inch ones.

 

[vortecd]

28" tall they do not. I have talked to them

 

[AlleyCat]

I will look at their website for you.

Just the drag slick in exactly the 28 inch.

 

[vortecd]

I thought about doing the radial slicks but wanted to have a drag radial
