Should I expect any differences going from 8.5" to 10" rim with my Hoosier 30x9x15(94") Radial Slicks ?

Do not know about radials,but on bias ply Hoosiers,it made a big upgrade on my 9-inch tire Camaro that 60 foots in the high 1.30s in good conditions.In an a-b-a test a nearly used up set of Hoosiers on a10 inch rim out 60 footed a new identical set on a 8.5 inch rim.Next week I had the new slicks on the 10 inch rim,nothing wrong with the slicks, it was the wider wheels.

You get a better foot print and can run more air.
