What size slicks or drag radials are guys useing on their cars....are 15" rims too small for the SS/SC?

 

yep smallest we can use is 16's I have some slicks on 16s for sale if your intrested

 

dam I was hoping 15"s would fit.

 

your not the only one lol

 

15's WILL fit if you grind down your brake caliper. It's up to you if that is worth it though.

 

How Much grindage we talking here? top and bottem edges just a bit right?

I am all about go with minimal show.

 

you'll have to search. I went with 16's cause I decided against grinding.

 

just go with 16inch slick bro, you will have PLENTY of traction.

 

Yeah...16"s it is. now just have to figure out the width I can sneek in there.

 

PM ralliartist he has slicks on his already

 

did a search but did not find much...any body hear of axles snapping on slicks?

 

I got a set of 17" rims with BFG DR's on them. Looking for 300 for both +shipping By the way they have about 10 miles on them, so near brand new

 

axles snap because of wheel hop. The harder the tire, the easier and more likely you are to wheel hop. Street tires are the worst, drag radials wheel hop if you don't launch right, and slicks don't wheel hop at all if you aren't an idiot. The widest you can fit without having to grind anything whatsoever is 9.5" wide slicks. if you go to a 10.5" like me, you'll have to grind on the suspension mount. The key is to get a SOFT compound with a decent amount of sidewall and a wide contact patch. 16" rims with a tire no taller than 26" tall and 9.5" wide is your best bet.

 

ralli there are other causes to breaking axles. trust me... on the 4th axle now...

 

I understand that, I'm just saying that is the most common. If you have slicks, and you aren't beating the **** out of your car, as in you go to the track, get decent 60ft.s and run good times, then you'll be fine. but if you are ***** to the wall dumping the clutch at rediculously high rpms, then you may break an axle even on slicks.

I'll be due to break one, I know. But I've only launched real hard on my slicks like 3 times. Every other time I've only launched at like 3K rpms or below.

 

great times. can't wait to get mine on the track.

 

how much for the slicks lol

 

i have a set of 17's off stock ss 2.4 wat size drag tire will be best for them?

 

had em for 250 but sold them sorry
