So to a junk yard and get yourself 2 steelies that fit and just put the slicks on them.

With a 400+ whp SRT4 neon, I was pulling 1.6 and 1.7ish 60' times.

Also, from what I've seen using DOT tires...dont burn out. It looks cool but isnt effective. Go around the water at Norwalk / dont back into it at D42.

We can't fit anything smaller than a 17" wheel over our brembo brakes. And there are no steeled that will fit.


Quaker has been getting better since the new owners, there's sometimes track prep now, I've actually seen them
Spray glue down. Still, it's inexcusable that you can't go around the wet box there, and it's slightly uphill

would need a pretty crazy spacer unless we do what chris did and swap to lsj brakes and shave them down to run a smaller tire. To me i just bought 2 17s for 200 bucks cause i rarely go to the track so its not worth it to me to loose the brembos to run slicks couple times a year.

Nope, outer diameter of the caliper is too big. Physically won't fit inside the wheel barrel.

On one of the SRT4s, we used crazy spacers & actually installed longer lug bolts. Seemed to work, but that's crazy about the spacing. It's nice having the upgraded brakes but you're extremely limited with rim options.
