What rear tyres are you goin to be running?
Unless runnning slicks I wouldnt bother.
I personally think the front runners are goin to make fark all difference to your time...Im not only sure Im HIV positive.Comment

You still have to steer with them though right? can you steer a drag car with any old shit rubber?I touched my brother's wang and all I got was this lousy signature. If only I had a POWERCHIP to flick instead.

Duh, but how much steering reliability/precision do you need? Would you need at least a certain spec tyre? How good are the front tyres on top fuellers?I touched my brother's wang and all I got was this lousy signature. If only I had a POWERCHIP to flick instead.

Got VE commo calipers, the people who made the brake kit said "needs 17inch wheels or bigger" ive got 18's and have not tried anything smaller.Originally posted by adamRSLC View PostHr under constructionComment

Will most probably be running drag radials. Front runners/smaller lighter rims do make a difference, a mate found a consistant 0.2 off his time. The main reason is to take some response out of the steering. If you've driven down the highway with 18's on the front and 15's on the rear and given the wheel a bit of a shake you will know what i mean, this is noticable at a 100 so i can imagine it would be much worse at 200.Originally posted by Bermo View PostHr under constructionComment

On a formula ford with slicks we went about half a second quicker going from 20 pounds to 60 pounds with no other changes. That would be the worst case scenario though as soft slicks are the hardest to turn.Comment

ANDRA has banned the use of space saver wheels and tyres at the drags, so don't bother. I know a few people that have use the tyres as front runners and they have been fine, up to about 120ish mph.
I used the 17inch space saver wheels on my VE. The worked fine for 100+ runs with proper front runner tyres. If you want proper 17' front runners you will need to spend about $2500 for proper wheels and tyres.
If you are running radials i wouldn't bother. I went 12.25 with slicks and front runners and 12.32 with radials and 19's on the front.

Run the smallest, light weight proper wheel you can find with the smallest "eco" low rolling resistance tyre you can find?Comment

Ford Focus LR models had an alloy space saver. ST170
This was combined with a pirelli tyre that ran at 60psi.
Seem to be very well built. Took stuff out of the boot last and did a check. Lucky, as it was down to lower than 20 psi.Sturgeon's Revelation (sometimes referred to as his second law): Ninety percent of everything is CRAPComment

ive driven a Silvia around with space saver fronts, and 35" muddies on the back.
That was stupidChris
