Anyone running slicks ? Lets see the pic's! what are you running ?

Hey thinking of scrapping the 285 x 30x 18's I'm running currently (I have a wide body) and change to slicks next time I'm down the drags.

Would love to know what slicks people are running (e.g. what they got to fit) and how they look !

(my plan is to run a15x10 rim (dont know what back space) and 26x10-15 M/T slicks )

But lets see what other are running and how they look !

what width is the FD rim ? I thought you would need a 10inch width to fit that type of rubber.

Fits and looks good.

have you had any issued with it ?

fd wheels have an 8 inch width. the width of the tires is misleading, it says 10.5 but it actually has a tread width of 8.4 in. They say it can be mounted on wheels from 7.4 to 9.4 in wide.
Only problem I had is I needed spacers to have them fit. I think i have 10 mm spacers
