I have 17x9 03-04 Cobras all the way around, but i also have a set of stockers (those ugly grey 5 star ones).

Which would be better for track use? Stick 275 drag radials on the rear set of my cobras? Or try to stick drags on my stockers because they weigh less?

Anyone know the weight difference? Anyone have any suggestions?

 

The factory 5 stars are gonna be alot lighter then the chrome cobras. I would use the 5 stars.

 

The thing is with the factory 5 stars is that im not going to have as wide a tire as i would with the chrome cobras. Does it matter?

 

The 275's will be fine on the 8" rim.

Thats how I use them.

<-----------------------Look.

 

Spike what times have you run N/A?

 

With H-pipe,cai,shifter,dumps and nitto Dr's I did 13.71@101 1.91 60' not even my best 60'. I have more mods etc.. now, I just havent been back to the strip in awhile. I've been to busy with graduating college and looking for a job to go at all. I'll be back at it soon though.

 

i ran 275/40's on my 5 stars... with a crap diablo tune from the shelf i ran a 13.4 with a 1.9 60ft my speeds were around 103-104 3.73 gears. prokit and bullitt shocks/struts were the only suspension mods i had at the time.

if you like to replace tires every 15k miles than put the drag radials on your daily driver wheels. if you want to save them then use your 5 stars.

 

I'd put them on my daily drivers but i'm pretty sure they are much heavier than stock.

 

throw them on the 5 stars DR's wear out super fast as daily drivers especially if you get into M/T's or hoosiers
