Hello, I am new here in the forum and hopefully somebody can help me. I am from Germany and baught a Dogde Ram SRT10 and now I am looking for some rims and drag slicks but it´s very hard to get it in Germany. At first my question if somebody can help me to find the right size. I mean which size of rim do I need to search and which wheels. maybe somebody has some experiences. In Germany the sizes are like 325/50 R22" but I don´t know what i need for the Hoosier wheels. Which rims should I take (size? 18" or what) and which size for the wheels (345/50or smaller)?
Maybe somebody of you can help me to make this sport in Germany also more and more attractive.
I had a look at Hoosier and fourd type 18120 D06 26.0 / 9.0-15 but which rim do I need? Any idea who sell and send out to Germany?
thank you very much
Slicks are very tough on our trucks. The first thing you need to do is have the rear calipers ground down to clear a 16" wheel. Next you need to determine by your transmission and rear end gear ratios which tire is ideal to optimize the use of the slicks. I can help you with finding the proper tire size, as well as the proper wheel. I do have an extra set of rear calipers that I am having ground down to run slicks this summer as well.

Hi, i am also from Germany and certainly can help you.
As mentioned before you can go with Slicks on 16" rims but have to grind down
calipers, or you start with drag radials like M+H 390/40 on 17" rims (without grinding of calipers)
I have almost every month coming parts from US to Germany so no problem to send rims and tires in one of the container !
Do you already have the tires? The reason I ask is if you can measure them and get me the diameter I can tell you what your trap speed would be with those tires.
No I have not been able to, the tracks dont open till May.
I need to dyno one more time to make sure on the A/F.
When watching my guage between 2000rpm and 5000 in 3rd gear I'm about 11.1 A/F.
The first and the major most things you need to do is have the back calipers floor down to obvious a 16" rim. Next you need to figure out by your transmission and back equipment percentages which rim is best suited to improve the use of the slicks.
