Well I just installed the shorter sway bar links to fit the 17s. I had to put them on for a minute just to see how they look. The black chrome and red is perfect. 305/45r17 10.5in wide Race stars with ET Street Rs.
I’m just about done with winter projects on this thing. It’s going to be an expensive winter if I keep getting bored. A8973331-F63A-44EE-B4C6-FE880B84FDE2.jpeg 1E366BA0-F1E7-49B6-9FFB-A5DFF8C82B80.jpeg

Those 17 Mickey Street R's are going to really give you great hook at the strip!
Looks good, Tor-Red is a great color and really nice looking wheels too 👌

I hope so. I almost went 315s and thought this was good enough.

Yeah and you're going to break some expensive shit. I hope you have axles, Ujoints and all that shit on the shelf.

Tape is correct.
You will need
Upgraded Axles
1 piece DS
Also a differential brace from Per4mance Development

That Primetime right there.
I wish I had the $$ to buy that off of Marc.
He is selling that set up for a really good price.

That’s actually a pretty good deal for that setup. Maybe a bit overkill for what I’m doing. Are people really seeing that much axle failure with just a 2.85 on 93? I didn’t think axles became an issue until higher hp. I have a diff brace. A few I talked to said the driveshaft on the 18 plus were stronger and I should be fine. Not saying I’m not going to get one at some point. Just haven’t ordered one yet.

I can't see how this setup is overkill in a 700 hp vehicle. Axle, driveshaft etc failure is a result from getting traction. The few you talked too that said you "should" be fine, what kind of car do they drive? Not trying to start a bunch of shit, talk to a few people that know what happens when a 700 hp car hooks up. This is why 99% of my racing is on the interstate, because I know my Hellcat is shit from a dig. good luck.
