Anyone running skinnies and slicks with big brakes?

[Vinz68]

I'd like to get a set of skinnies and slicks to do some drag racing with my car. I have 13" front rotors with 6 piston calipers , and 12" rears with 4 piston calipers. (Willwood) I am currently mini tubbing and will be running a 12" rear rim. Any suggestions? Thanks Vinnie

I have 2 GTO spares, and im going to get a set of 17" front runners. Then for the rear not sure yet.


Borgets have drag wheels that look cool and fit big brakes

I was wondering the same thing.....I know my front 15x3.5's have only 1.75" bs so I would imagine it would clear. The rear with 4.5" bs Im sure nothing more than a 12" rotor would fit.

What do you have for brakes? It would be great if I could run a 15" rim.

I’m planning on having 2 sets of rims for this reason, 18” wheels for everyday & a smaller dia for the dragstrip.
I have 13" front disc & I was thinking of getting smaller disc brakes for the rear so, I can run 17x7 front 15x12 rear at the drag strip.

I was just browsing lateral-g.net & found some pics that I thought I would ad to this thread for ideas.
These front runners would be great for the drag strip. What do you guys think?

i have a 72 buick a body with bear brakes 13in front and 12inch rear at the track i have slicks and skinnies. weld draglites 15 inch they fit if you use a small spacer on the front and back. the front you have to get the wheel out enuff to clear caliper

CCW makes a drag pack for C5 Corvettes. It uses 16" wheels all around. The fronts are 16x4 and the rears are 16x10. I had a set for my C5.

Maybe he can provide a set with the correct offset for your application.

I checked out CCW and they seem to be the route I'm gonna go. 17/4 front and 16/11 rear.
