nope. a road tire will have a stiffer sidewall. not good for launching on.

 

Well damn lol.. You know any good places/sites to get decent used slicks?

 

local track forums i suppose? theres not a website or dealer that just sells used slicks.

 

my buddies is 13" tread width, eek lol.. will they fit? haha

 

on like a 15x10 wheel with a giant ass spacer

 

lmao, yeah thats what i thought.. i'll continue my search

 

just buy some new ones man. less than $500 for two brand new slicks...

what size wheel do you have?

 

No wheels yet, been looking at both wheels and slicks at the moment. Trying to figure out what would be best

 

found these this morning.. M&H Racemaster MHR21 - M&H Racemaster Drag Race Slicks - Overview - SummitRacing.com

thinking of going with Diamond Racing Wheels for some custom steelies

 

thats a really small tire. i'd go with something taller and wider. maybe we can get centerline to get us a group buy on some storms. since they have to make them anyways. maybe they'll give us a discount if we have like 5-10 people buy 2 wheels from them.

 

well that would be excellent lol

 

yeah, i was gonna buy some anyways. might as well see what they say.

 

Ya.. I'm just trying to get some wheels and slicks for an event on sept 24. Dont really wanna spend too much money and the wife nags me for putting so much money in the car lol. Im not really sure what sizes fit this car either. I mean I'd like wide, but I need to turn also.

 

a 15x8 would be fine. centerlines are 15x7 but are already in the 5x110 pattern so you wouldn't need an adapter or hub swap. but they also take 3 weeks to make/ship after you order

 

now how much are these? Are they a wheel and tire combo?

 

they're about $250-260 each. but they're the best looking wheel i've found thats a 15 in 5x110. theres other wheels that cost about $100. but imo they look terrible.

 

so i'm thinking about getting some custom made steelies from diamondracingwheels.com
what would be the best size to go with and the best size slick to get?

 

Wow thanks for a link to those guys. I know where I'm ordering my wheels for my hoosiers (A6, I like to turn, bite me) and my new star specs I'm sure it would be quite easy for me to get what I want from them at a decent price, I just wish they published their wheel weights.

 

Wheel Products - Discount Tire Direct

i know for a fact the Voxx's will fit. also American Racing "Coil" wheels fit. don't know about the center bore of the other wheels

 

Link on first post to the hoosier cheater slicks on summitracing doesnt work. It's only goes to the Main page of summitracing. I wanna buy my first racing tires

 

what size wheel ya got?

 

I have a question regarding the surface. Tarmac and concrete reactive the same with full slicks? Each gives better traction?

 

If I get better results with for a 16" rim sized, I will have to buy new rims also. But I have stock wheel 215/40R18

 

so you're wanting an 18" track tire??? i thought you meant you wanted to buy your first set as in you already had 16 or 15 wheels

 

are you going road racing or drag racing?
