Are there any options other than the CCW's while keeping the factory brakes?

Thanks,

Chad

Chad, BPP <--- has some 16' wheels that you can use for the ET Streets. That's what I use. Can't remember exactly but it seems like they ran around $600 for the set.

yes there is. If you dont want to hack at the supsension, i Recomend the ZR1 wheels (17X11) with the 56 MM offset I BELIEVE.

These will mount up perfect to the factory brakes/suspension. Throw some 315 DR's BFG's on there and your good to go.
I think you will be able to grab good traction with those at the florida tracks. Isn't Gainesville a good hooking track? Someone on here was clicking off 1.7's over at that track. Was it "GaryZO6"?

Gainesville is an amazing track but kind of far. DeSoto is right down the road and has been prepped well, lately.

Thanks for the ideas.

Yes it was me.....1.76 60 ft time with BFG's at Bradenton

all you have to do is order two 16" firebird rims from www.slponline.com for $50 each, then order two 26x10.5x16 ET streets from www.summitracing.com for about $170 each, have them mounted and bolt them right on. it may require some very mild grinding, but overall its the cheapest, quickest set up. if they are going to be a racing wheel only, not normally used on the street i see no reason to get DRs, might as well get the real deal
