Hi Larry,

We mostly run a 10" wide wheel. Depending on the car of course. Some guys run 7" wheels, 8" wheels, 9" wheels, and 10" are all used. My Stocker has 8's and Dads SuperStocker has 10's. Are you looking to purchase a set of wheels?

Tony, No im not looking for wheals. I am going from a 2.3 turbo in my pinto to a 347 stroker. i have 9 in tires on 8 in wheals and I was wondering if I put them on 10 in wheals if I could get better traction. I have 10 in wheals already. Thankyou Larry Ferringer

10 inch rim with a 9 inch tire will give you a better foot print.
