I will not be running those Hoosiers at all actually. I was just using them for test fitting. They are street tires though.

I am trying to get a hold of the new MandH DR's now.


Also, just ordered another set of wheels for the car. I am trying my hardest to get the weight out of it at this point so I decided to use the Wedsport TC105n's. I will still work on getting the Rpf1's to fit right too as they are an affordable and available wheel.

The only oil this motor will ever see is Brad Penn 20w50. It's what we use in every car we build and have not had one issue, ever.

will the MandH DR fit on stock rims like the hoosiers and when do you think they will be available

 

Yes, They will fit. Not sure when they will be available yet but as soon as they are we will be adding them to our site!

nice choice on wheels...i heard they are a pita to get alignment equipment on since the "lip" is different

 

We should be fine. We have all of our own alignment equipment here that works much different than what most of the in and out shops use.

I'm on a quest to make this car weigh under 2700 lbs so these wheels should help me lose about 10 lbs over the RPF-1's, and in the right place too!

Hopefully tomorrow I can pick up my head from the machine shop and get the motor wrapped up.

Honestly can't wait!

i was in no way bad mouthing them haha i actually want them bc of the look/weight
im just going off what Robert said about using his equipment on them, he said they were a pita

 

I like those wheels. Knowing what you are keeping in the car and the diet mine is on now, I don't see you getting under 2700 if you do, you better tell me the secret! haha

I have a set of the M&H Drag Radials at the shop if you need them Emery.

 

Under 2700lbs?? And that will be with full interior, AC & PS correct?? It's an RS so it doesn't have ABS, you deleting the brake booster too?? Under 2700 with all that still is ridiculous, there is something wrong with you!!

 

thanks. please ship those tires and let me know what i owe you. it will get under 2700 one way or the other.

 

Emery. what size rim did you buy and do you know the weight of the rim?

good luck getting the weight down. it will be hard and if you come up with some new light weight stuff i am interested.

 

The wheels are 17X9 and the weight is 15.6 lbs as far as I can tell. I will have more info when they come in.

As far as weight goes, I will make it happen.

cool let us know. why did you go with a 17x9 and not a 17x8?


i just re read my post. i want to make sure you didnt take that wrong. i didnt mean good luck being sarcastic. i meant it as in a i believe/hope you can do it.

 

Not at all.

Went with the 9 inch wheels because the way the face looks and I wanted to make sure I had room for what ever tire I went with. I am not sure but I think the new MandH radials are a little wide so they should fit really nice on the 9 inch wheel.

cool. will you be a dealer or able to get these rims once you feel there worth it? id possibly be interested in a 17x8 and whatever offset needed to fit.
