Wheel/Tire setup for 250whp?
 
Are stock 14" steelies with some decent rubber going to be good enough to keep traction with 250whp? I don't want to spend any money on the damn car before I put the kit together, but I got to thinking that 14's might not get enough rubber to the gorund.
Daily driver, no drag, no racing.
Opinions?
Thanks nogs.

Thanks. :1

I should mention that I have winter tires, I need something for summer only, possibly through rain. No snow/cold.

Take the projected horsepower (250) divide that by 15. Thats's 16.6 Round up. That means you need a 17" rim to put that power down.

14' with dry tire will be fine, but tire alone won`t do ---- if suspension is crap.
