Wheel/Tire options 1990 454 SS
Alright guys need some advice on wheel/tire setup. Truck is 1990 454SS that is mini tubbed with 4 link so I can run a pretty big tire in the back. Truck is toy/cruiser that I would like to AutoX.
Has 498CI bbc on E85 makes ~600-650rwhp T56 trans, 3.73 gears with an eaton trutrac Currently run 17x9 with Nitto nt450 275/50r17 in front 17x11.5 and Toyo Proxes tq 345/40r17 in rear Wheels are STEEL cragar 397s that I had widened. They are ridiculously heavy. I want to go to something lighter but it's hard to find something in the right BP without getting something custom which is out of my price range. I found some wheels I like from ESR but the widest I could get is 18x10 or 19x10.5. Should I get something else to keep the wider tire or does someone make a tire that will work with my power/weight levels on a 10" wheel? If anyone has any input on a similar looking wheel please let me know. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |
What is your honest wheel budget? If you shop around online, you could probably buy these in 17x11, for around $400/each. American can drill a 5x5 bolt pattern in them, for you.
http://www.americanracing.com/wheel/...torq-thrust-ii A 10" or 10.5" width wheel is too narrow, for a 345 width tire. You probably need a 17x12 but those won't be inexpensive. |
I want to stay around 350-500 per wheel. I'm really wanting to stay with a split 5 spoke or mesh 5 spoke wheel.

Your truck has a 5x5 bolt circle, right?
|
Yes. thats what makes it hard to find wheels

What backspacing are you running on those 17x11.5 wheels?
|
7"
They were 5" when I bought them but I had them widened 2" to he inside. I would really like to go to a 18 or 19 " wheel but I think i should really find a tire that will work first. Needs to be 28" + tall and as wide as I can find, then just fine wheels to fit. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk |
Might be difficult to find a bigger drag radial than a 345/40/17. You can get a wider tire, in a larger diameter, but it will not be a drag radial.

I'm ok with having a nice AutoX or roadracing tire if I can find one in the right size. Right now all I can find are slicks and drag radials.

https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...omCompare1=yes Here's some other options. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/TireS...=1&RunFlat=All If it were me, I'd probably keep what you already have. However, if you want to switch to the 355/30/19's, here's some decent priced wheels, IF they will build them with a 5x5 bolt pattern. http://www.forgestar.com/wheels/coll...ck-series/f14/ |
