Re: 17 inch wheels on a 1/8 drag strip
This raises a whole bunch of questions.
Why run the stock car on the 1/8 drag strip?
What do you mean by stock?
What is the body style?
Why do you want to use 17 inch wheels and tires?
I am not the 17-inch expert, but I think the 17-inch wheels fit the Model A without modifications. Using the 17-inch wheels and tires would probably not give you any advantage and would make the car non-stock. The 19-inch tires may be an advantage as there would be less tire patch area and therefor less friction than the 17-inch tires. I don't think you have to worry about hooking up to the road surface with a stock Model A.
