We run a 12" with our 10.5s ! Seems to give a better footprint ! As for the wheels I don't have any experience with them !

Drag Wheel Technical


Prior to ordering your wheels, please verify your measurements are made according to the diagram below.

With double beadlock AND/OR wheels with a backspace larger than 4", there is a brake clearance concern. To check this, measure from the center of your axle out to the edge of your brake caliper in a straight line--if that measurement is less than 6.5", you should have proper brake clearance. Any more than that, and we recommend contacting us for further assistance.

Agreed, I run 12" rims on my 10.5"'s also. Currently my car has 315's on the car now. No beadlocks currently. Maybe someday.
