1. I just went out and tried, the 17" stock rims do fto the back of our trucks.
2. The 20" spare from the hemi's WILL NOT FIT ON THE FRONT the offset is WRONG!
3. Yes the 390's will mount on the 17's, but that an 8" wide rim and the m&h's call for a 10" wide rim.

Hey RED , decipher this for me, do the 17" steel wheels fit our trucks or not ???

ive got a set of steel 17x9 wheels if anyone knows of someone who can widen them they should work

 

[BigRed460]

yes they fit!!!! they just arnt wide enough ffor the m&h's if your going by the book.

[moparracing]

ARRESTmeRed04 was right, those mb razors don't fit.....

my guy matt @ vancouver's americas tire got me a deal on the American Eagle Alloy 058 series 17x10 Part # 0589-8057 for $129.00 a rim.......

my pacers

With your slicks being that much shorter,Wouldn't it be alot better times on the 1/4??

 

[ARRESTmeRed04]

yes my 1/4 times are a little better, a best of 12.68 so far, that'll drop with the temps though, it was high 80's when i ran that

were you able to stay in 4th @ the 1/4 & what rpm were you turning then ?

 

[ARRESTmeRed04]

yeah crossed the line at about 5500rpm in 4th and about 170mph, however i have to shift like a MOFO the first half of the track cause i'm in 4th before i even get to 1/8mile and it seems to pull harder shifting at 5500
