Default Will this change 1/4 mile time?

Right now i have a few boltons nothing major. My Current time is 13.00x. I have headers ory and a flowmaster muffler with the stock piping. Im changing the whole catback to borla. I currently have nitto555R drag radials in 275/40/17 with stock ss wheels on my 01. Im changing the wheels to TT2 17 by 9.5 in the front and 17 by 11's in the back with brand new nitto555R dr's 275 in the front and 315 in the back. The ones on there right now are starting to get low. So once i change rims,tires and exhaust will my et change and if so will it be better, worse or stay about the same?[/align]

There is a good chance the bigger wheel will slow you down a bit. More rotating weigt is a bad thing if your trying to go fast.

but if he can get better traction it might offset the weight

why are you getting drag radials on the front? thats a waste of money

That's true, however my car has been 1.54 on a 275/40/17 BFG dr. Granted I have a lot more mods, but my point is that the wider is not need to hook up, it's really just for looks which is fine.

sorry about that im just getting regular nittos not drag radials up but dr's in the back and im not sure the 315 will fit on my car with 17x11 so i think im gonna go 275 on a 17x9.5 rims all the way around.

if you get the correct offset then 17 by 11's will fit.

i haven't had a single problem with rubbing. I didn't have to cut my bump stops either, and 315's look badass from the back. Do want you want to do.
