they will rub, black ss/sc has them. I believe he had to modify something with his strut to make it fit. Look into the hooiser q.t.p. or a hooiser drag radial

As long as you don't roll around on the streets with some 16" rims, we won't have to shoot you....

I had to grind the swaybar mount a bit on the strut, and then they fix ok but I can barley get a piece of paper between the sidewall and strut. Since then I installed longer wheel studs and just use 1/3" spacers on them at the track.

yea i was looking at the hoosiers and was just wondering if it was gonna be the 225s or the 255s that i was gonna look into getting

lsjwannabe 04-30-2008 12:27 PM

225's look nice

FryLoch 04-30-2008 12:29 PM

yea... im just dissapointed because im rolling around on my 555rs 245/45/17s and they work fine kinda wanted to go wider lol

lsjwannabe 04-30-2008 12:51 PM

why it just looks retarded anyway. Im between either the q.t.p. or the 225

yes sir

lsjwannabe 04-30-2008 02:07 PM

well you are going to rub with the tire then at high speeds like 100 mph+

CbYellowSS 04-30-2008 02:10 PM

this is the rating on the dot drag radial which basically looks like a slick anyways lol

17320 P225/50R16 M 8.5" 24.9" 78.3" 7-9" 7" 9.5" 18

lsjwannabe 04-30-2008 02:12 PM

looks perfect to me... because its a little wider than the qtp slick and not as tall so i wont have to worry about the rubbing issue
