Im just curious if anybody has ever run these Hoosiers? Not too conserned about performance (i know they will do fine). Im more worried about sizing. I plan on running a 16x6 wheel and it says that the minimum is 6". Also, is the height on this going to fit okay? ATM im on Sportlines but within a few weeks i will have KSport coilovers so i will have some adjustability. Please and thanks

a 6 in wheel will be fine
i assume you already got rid of your brembos, but i'll just not that anyway
but you run a 26in tire no problem

 

yea Brembos are gone. and thanks for the info!

 

I would run the 225/50-16 quick times if I were you. I think 26's might rub, and really is a bit tall for our cars.

 

Just the guy I was hoping would respond haha thanks man. That's what I needed to hear.

 

Why you trying to go so fast Bryce?

 

because my shitty times last summer weren't cool at all!

 

maybe because its a cobalt hahah JK.. Nothing but love here homie g!! Popcorn and ankle socks waching titanic.. wtf!!`

 

haha street tires, shitty BYT tune, no mounts and a slipping clutch = shitty times.

ps...you would be watching titanic..*** hahaha

 

actually im really not. Im watching some stupid candid camera show lol!!. Remote tuning!!

 

you can run a 26" just fine. but with the 3.85 final of the tc, plus a taller tire will kill you're torque. i forgot how much power youre making on your swap but i would say its either/or if you want to run a 24.5 or a 26.

heres my 245/50/16 nt555r's. they're 25.6" tall.. i'm also on ksport coils

 

im making 407hp/391trq. and i will be pretty low on my ksports.

the wheels i have are 16x6" or i would just run those 245 555r's. the wheels are also free so thats why i am using them lol

 

fairy, with all those flowers. BWAHAHAHAHAH

 

225/50r16 Hoosier DOT Drag radials should do me just fine i think

 

those wheels are just a 16x7. i was just using that picture as a height reference though. stick with the quicktimes or a m/t et street. don't run a 555r

 

yea thats not too bad on the height tho. and yea quick times are better than the 555r's lol

 

im gonna run flints.. aka flintstones.... hahah..

 

Well, all this talk of fancy tires, you had damn well better run better times than me this year at the track.

I don't wanna be on here poking fun at a turbo-swapped car that can't beat a stock k04 car down the strip. When you going to the track again? We've got a group of guys from WyCoRacing.com going down the weekend after July 4th for Street Wars on friday night and then the KBPI car show the next day. I probably won't be taking the Cobalt down then, I hopefully should be in my 93 Talon.

 

you'll have no problems running a 26. but then again, thats if you want to.


also for the price you'll pay for the hoosiers, $203 from summit and $244 from jegs, you could get some cheap ass 15"s and run a 24.5x8.5 m&h slick for $184. 26x8.5 m/t for $182. theres a lot better tire out there if you go to a 15

 

I will be going down for Street Tuner Mayhem on June 10th! and the KBPI show. and im sure a few others T-n-T's.

 

yea ive thought about it. but i landed a set of 16 inch wheel for free lol plus i dont want to have to shave the calipers down any.

 

well then go with the gtp or a m/t et street. also with the et streets i know our local track will let you run in the slick lanes(less cars, more passes) instead of running with street tires out of the groove.

 

oh nice! i didn't even think of that

 

yeah any type of "cheater slick" or soft compound radial should be allowed to run in the slick lanes. but radials like the 555r, m&?h drag radial, etc.. treaded tires... will still run with street tires.

this would be considered a cheater slick yea?
