I am calling them tomorrow to check on this. I'm a dealer and someone is asking me for this 6.43 BS and it's not in the catalog.

Yeah I talked to head of sales and also the head of tech, the "-30" notes custom milling which adds an additional charge of $50 and takes a week to get done.

From talking to Mike K the head of tech, when folks order the "-30" he said that gets tight, and that "-25" would be his preferred unless folks take measurements. I get why he's being a big cautious, if the wheels are milled and make even a little contact they get stuck with them.

So will my 6"bs work for a hoosier 28x10 as long as I don't lower the car? Mine is mrc. I was thinking about eibach pro kit which looks like an inch or less. I'm not dead set on having the springs, but would like to run the Hoosier slick

Dubchitts · 03-12-2018, 06:32 PM

Actually let's do it this way. My racestars are 17x9.5 6"BS. Car is m6, mrc with harness relocation already, stock height.

What bias plys will fit if I stay stock suspension? I see a Hoosier 28x10 and a MT 28x11.5 and a M&H 26x8.5. Are there more options out there?

DapperDan · 03-12-2018, 06:59 PM

I think laynlo has the 28x10 hoosier slicks but he has the 6.43bs he is also like 1.5" lower maybe he can give you an idea if they will fit with your 6bs

I talked to him already. I'm really hoping I didn't screw myself. I didn't pay attention when I bought the wheels. I'm gonna take a huge loss on them if I have to sell because the HS kid that mounted the tires chewed The bead of the wheel up. Doesn't bother me for what they are but I know the next guy will.

But from a tire calculator, the MTs I have are 27.8"tall x12 wide. In theory the hoosier should be fine then, right? I know it's 2 different brands and two different constructions, but 2 inches narrower on a .3"taller tire

DapperDan · 03-12-2018, 07:40 PM

I know on my 6.43bs the hoosier slicks would fit fine because my M&H Drag radials have all kinda room sorry I cant help ya any better

No problem man. I appreciate the help. I think I'm going to try them. With them being, (in theory) narrower and only. 3"taller I think it should be fine

laynlo15 · 03-12-2018, 07:51 PM

Mine were the first ones done by Mike at Racestar and that's how the 6.43 came about because I wanted to make sure they would clear a lowered Camaro like mine. Before there was only 6" and 6.85" or something like that. I actually met Mike in KC and picked them up. They fit perfectly.

You guys do know that lowering a car and running it at the track will kill the weight transfer and your Et in the process.

With that being said a lowered 6th gen does looks badass.

I called Race Star today to have them answer a few questions. They recommended Kent's Hod Rod Garage for the best pricing on Race Stars. They beat both Jegs and Summit. If anyone is in the market give them a call,816-509-8999, their phone pricing is better than their website pricing.

They also stock tires, their MT prices are better than Jegs and Summit everyday prices but not quite as good as Jegs current sale.

Anyone else running the 17X10.5 with 7.00 BS? Those are the wheels I was looking at getting, but wasn't sure if they'd be too wide for a 10" Hoosier slick, as the website says recommended widest rim is 10".

By the looks of all the tires available, is it better to go with the 9.5" wheels?

Dubchitts · 03-31-2018, 03:27 PM

Anyone know how much a Mickey et street r 305/45/17 weighs? For shipping purposes

ULTRAZLS1 · 03-31-2018, 03:48 PM
