Attached is the order form from Jegs. I currently am running 540rwhp on stock wheels/tires (18"s) and can only manage to get into the 12second club, 2.2s 60' time.

I want to hit the 11s with my car in its current setup, and I also want to be able to have a set of wheels/tires to push me into the 10s when I up the boost. Soo.... I figured I would post what I think will get me there after searching the forums here and talking to various other people.

Basically its a set of 15" Pro-Stars (front and rear) with M/T ET Front tire (Skinny) and M/T ET Street Drag Tire for the rear (26 x 11.5 - 15)

Bolt holes are 5 x 4 3/4

Also included is a set of ARP studs for the rear wheels only, and a set of 25 open ended lug nuts.

I do have a couple of questions. First, do I need to replace all the wheel studs with ARP studs? Second, do I need open ended lug nuts? I figured I would get them just in case since I cant seem to find any info here as to whether or not you need them with the ARP studs. I dont think I need them, but I am not an expert. Finally, since they only sell the lugnuts in a pack of four, I went ahead and ordered 5 packs, and plan on using them for the fronts as well. Theres not a problem with using an open lugnuts on the front skinnies, is there? I dont see one, but again I dont know the most about this stuff. Any help is appreciated, Thanx!

yes open lugs with needed arp studs......and replacing the stock studs with ARP's is good to do imo....the stockers strip very easily

did you find the old threads on which arp studs fit? the part #'s are listed in a few of those threads

the lug nuts will work on the front and back no problems, are you goingto be driving on these to the track? if so i would recomend going to the M/T sportsman fronts over the ET fronts, if your gona trailor it then go with what you have, and on a 10" wheel i would go with the E/T street drag radial over the E/T street, go with a 275/50/16 on it. plenty of cars running 9s on that tire.

I'll be changing the tires at the track. I am being told by friends in the tire business that the Street will launch better than the Street Radial, any truth to that? I want to be able to launch at a decent RPM :D

don't get me wrong, the ET street is a great tire, but it kinda lost its market, the ET radial works so well on both the street and track that most either just go with a ET drag or the ET street radial so they can drive on them everywhere, trust me i was pulled over sevral times with my ET streets casue they wanted to prove that they were not a DOT tire, have not been pulled over once on the MT DR, and i still cut the same 60fts that i did with the ET street.
