Default do they make a 19" drag radial

I have some bfg kdw2's in 19's, and I went to get some drag radials, only to find they don't make them in a 19. I checked for Nitto's too. Anyone know of a brand that does make them in a 19? I didnt think about that when i bought my rims :[

Best thing to do is find some smaller rims and put drag radials on those... even some 17" stockers will do the trick (they will clear 13" big brake kits including OE Brembo's if you have etc)...

+1 Nobody makes 19" DR's, they make them up to some wide 18" sizes though....

Thanks, but dam! I didn't think about that when i got the rims. I have the BFG g force kdw's now, and i will be installing a 100 shot of nos in a couple weeks, and was wondering if i'll need new tires. Or if i switch to the regular KD's. hmm

stickier rubber may not help you how you want...

you should look into somethign to adjust your rear camber to more of a 0 camber angle... get more rubber on the ground like a vette / mustang and loose some of the corner loving abilities... sounds like your more into drag racing then corner carving...

www.iapdirect.com for the best camber/toe solution on the market-do not buy toe/traction rods, simply buy camber arms, and eccentric toe bolts to dial in more + camber for added traction. If you dial close to zero, say -.5 you will see a huge improvement in straight line grip.

I'd suggest running around .5 degrees rear camber, 0 rear toe
