Slick tirres.

What size tire should I get for 16" rims? Where could I get a set? Anything that I should know before buying some? Are they alot faster of the line than BFG KDW?

15s dont fit without caliper grinding

which sucks because the options for a 16 inch wheel are **** compared to 15s.

How much do you have to grind the calipers? I am looking at getting some slicks and axles soon, just wondering if its worth doing. Has anyone here done it? Exactly what kind of wheel did you use?

I was looking for drag slicks. I already have the 16" wheels, so 16 was what I wanted to go with if possible. Grinding the calipers is just not an option thouugh.....

Well I would have to buy new wheels to fit 15s. And grinding calipers is just not something I want to do on my car. Just seems wrong... WTV, Ill take the extra .1-2 in the 16s will give me in the quarter
