If I could get away with running some nt555r or something on the 18" wheel I'd save enough to get those MSR'S

 

you should be looking into 16's and 17's

 

With D/R's yes. But Ryan is only running 18s

 

my stock lnf spins 1st and 2nd on the nt555's. i hate them and they are not good in the rain

 

well ryans an exception

the main reason tires spin is because the sidewalls don't flex. you eliminate this by running a tire with a tall and flexible sidewall

msr's are ugly in my opinion, sorry. do the varrosteins

 

go 16's and a proper tire. ryan is on the stock 18's and bitches about traction over 100 lol

 

If a stock LNF spins nt555's you have too much pressure in them. Unless you just mean stock turbo with a tune. When it was warm out I would spin on most roads, but it would still be pulling me forward hard, and once in a while I could dead hook 2nd on a really nice road if I eased into it. Also, he is talking about the 555R, which is a radial.

Nick, you won't hook 2nd on any tire short of a slick in party mode, I'll tell you that lol

 

i run 30psi in them. 235/40/18 is what im on. i mean its stock other then catless lol

 

Theres no reason they should be spinning :/ Maybe I just got a good batch lol

 

an nt555 they are no better then most radial daily use tires a geo metro would burn them off and lowering the tire pressure in a street radial will make them cup inward in the center and give you less of a contact patch

 

everybody recommends them though. they came on the car when i bought it. they havent started to wear funny yet and have 10k miles on them.

 

the nt555 and nt555r are completely different tires. I have the R's in a 245/50/16. When im out playing i try to keep them around 15-18psi. On a warm day, they will dead hook from a 60 roll even with brake boosting. On a cooler night they spin 3rd but still pull very hard. I spin 2nd no matter what but it still pulls very hard, and I was getting pretty good at pedaling it. Ask Alan, the car PULLS even with some tire roastage but im sure with some M/Ts, M&Hs or even some 255/50/16 r888 it would be better. Nittos arent the best tire for 500+hp

Heres some vids to get an idea. Was not brake boosting on either of these. These are both on 26psi where it made ~480/415

 

Some good tire info in here, and sorry Rice, no hub swap for me. If I can hook from a 40 roll I'll be a happy camper


Also is there any benefit to having the FPR in the engine bay rather than under the car?

 

do you mean zzp's brfs vs a real rsfs?

 

Damn are you still on stock lsj block???

 

I'm still confused how just return systems work vs boost reference. Bottom line is I got this baby in the mail today and I have to figure out what I wanna do with it

 

Kinky

 

For a return you have to run a line back to the tank I believe. ZZP has a write up on their site somewhere.

 

I'd take my PC'd MSR's over just about any wheel out there in all honesty...

 

Same here, easily my favorite wheel in 5x110.

 

we have a return system stock just not a conventional return system in which a conventional is returned from the rail to the tank

our return line runs from the filter to the tank regulated in the canister and the line from the filter back to the tank is where that regulator goes and you run a vac line from the engine all the way back to your new regulator

ottp and zzp systems are both boost referenced

 

that's not true slicks can spin

 

Not saying that, of course they can still spin, just they will do better than 35 sidewall street tires

 

Just my opinion maybe i shouldnt them ugly... they just need some lip is all. I like to see bbs stuff on cars tho

 

not always
ive seen slicks get blown off on a 11sec street car
