I don't know if I would trust a set of ROTA's for track application LOL. I wouldn't trust them on the street either.

Unfortunately to get the clearance needed you'll have to run custom offsets which will lead you down the path of huge money. You're not going to be able to find your run of the mill cast wheels in a 12" wide.

agreed. the issue is that with 19s there wont be the sidewall i was going for with 18s for the drag racing application intended.

granted any DR will be stickier based on the compound but more sidewalla would also help improve traction and my 60' times.

best was 1.950 on PSS's. would love to toss on DR's and hit 1.850 or 1.800
