10 vs 10.5

Zaff03GT · 03-31-2006, 10:42 AM

Will a 315/35 Bf goodrich gforce takd look better on a 10 or 10.5 inch wheel? I want it to look as big as possible.

matrixpuba · 03-31-2006, 11:57 AM

IMO 10.5 would look better

a 315 is gonna bulge more on a 10". It may have the appearance of looking bigger with the bulge. IMO it looks right on a 10.5. also diff brands of 315s are slightly diff in actual widths.

is a dr good for street driving because i have never been to the track before and dont plan on goin much

matrixpuba · 04-01-2006, 12:27 PM

i ran a nitto dr on the street all the time with my last set. i never been to a track(dont live near one) the nitto will last longer but is not as wide. looks like you are runnin a 4:10 gear, so a dr might be a good idea IMHO

the drag radial is also alot cheaper than the takd

just get some goodyear gs d3's they look the biggest and are a great tire. im buying 2 of them later this month my drag radials wil be dead by then and they only been on my car since december.

I've got 10.5's on my car and 315/35 Nitto Drags, and I drive the car daily. They work great, as long as you don't drive in the rain. they're actually better in dry weather, b/c of the added traction you get with them. IMO they rule and I'm running them from now on for daily drivers (except long distance trips, of course)

my boy has a set of BFG drag radials on his Mach 1 and they do pretty good in the rain as long as he doesnt get down on it hard. i think they're 285's and they are huge! One thing to remember tho if you race with them, too big of a tire will slow you down....he had 295's at 1st and the car felt like a dog, then went to the 285's and was better.

You do realize that it's only like .4 of an inch diffrence between those two tires...

That's what deeper gears are for!

Here's a 315/35 on a 10.5 rim:
