Hey bartender!

so 12 wide. And what up front?

Just doing what I do
So 305/35 front, 355/30 rear with the rear wheel centerline pulled in by 1/2" on each side compared to front. Seems like it would be reasonably well balanced and capable of taking good power through the turn while staying planted.
so here's what im thinking
285/35/18: 26 inch tall, 11.2 wide for the front
355/30/18: 26.4 in tall, 14 in wide for the rear
285/35/18: 26 inch tall, 11.2 wide for the front
355/30/18: 26.4 in tall, 14 in wide for the rear

Of course that assumes you have a near 50/50 weight balance.

be sure - my car does not corner well 
that's the goal, and I should be fairly close, with a full tank of fuel, mathematically, Im guessing I'll be around 50/50 and on an empty tank, 55/45
its all the drag from the chebbie hoodbe sure - my car does not corner well

Jeez, how much fuel are you going to carry? 5% change in weight balance means 350 lbs on a 3500 lb car. 350 lbs of fuel is 58 gallons

Why would you have a tire on top of your head? That's just silly.
I have 215 70 14 (8.5 wide) all around. That's about as big as you can get on front of stock Duster for clearance.

maybe - but that's also why you'll never catch it in a straight lineits all the drag from the chebbie hood
Wanna betmaybe - but that's also why you'll never catch it in a straight line

Because it can't go in a straight line?maybe - but that's also why you'll never catch it in a straight line
Ok so it'll be less than that lol, 25 gal fuel cell

What's your actual 1/4 mile ET and MPH with your current configuration?
1/8 mile times are junior league numbers and don't translate to the big-boy track of the full 1/4 mile...
