Re: Slicks
 

28" is way too tall. how much power and what tranny?

Re: Slicks
 

NA/low boost, under 200 whp = 20x8x14 on 14x7 rims
higher boost, 200+ whp = 22x8x13 on 13x7.5 Lensos

Re: Slicks
 

at what power level should you start thinking about overall tire diameter and gearing in relation to trap speed?? i.e. not having to shift into fifth gear just before the line

Re: Slicks
 

depends on your tranny gearing and peak hp rpm

Re: Slicks
 

that combo works great for my t-sohc

Re: Slicks
 

but on my coupe 13s dont fit up front... so for 14s what should i look for? and where to buy?

Re: Slicks
 

I have had good luck with M&H, but they go from a 13 to a 15. no 14's is slicks

they have dot's in 14's.

13's arent clearing your rotors or what?

Re: Slicks
 

if you just plan on usin somethin for the track, then you want a slick, if you want something for the street, then you need a DOT approved tire. Look for something with a decent sidewall, slicks with short sidewalls, do not have a big footprint, try to find a slick with the highest sidewall ratio you can fit under your fenders, that will give you the footprint needed for good traction.

right.

so i have a choice to go with 15s.. direct me to a site that sells em...
