Curious to see what others are running at the track as far as drag wheels and what size slick

Justin

 

i aint got shizz yet but im gonna get a pair of stock tc wheels. and get some drag radials. 225/45r17

 

15x7 wheels

mickey thompson 24.5x8x15 slicks

selling those to get slicks thats are wider!

 

what kinda wheels like brand wise? offset?

 

ill watch this for future reference lol

 

bf drags 225/40

 

We run a WELD 15" x 10" with a MICKEY THOMPSON 33" x 10.5" x 15" on our SCION tC



7.3 @ 197

 

wonder what the tallest tire/widest rim you can run on a stock body tc?

thx

 

245/45 Nitto Drag radial... no heat cycles yet been raining
17x8.5 +30 Enkei RPF1 DG

Also have used 225 BF's on Stockies. They work well.

 

I cant hook on the BFG's for some reason, there the 225's! there not as bad as street tires, but damn.

 

I likes the BFG's. However the Nittos were cheaper, so I decided to try them out.

 

im on the Falken Azenis RT-615 225/45R-17 and they work great

 

Those are street tires, which i use.. but i spin 4th gear in them..

justin do not get the 8" wide slicks YOU will spin them.. i cant catch a decent 60 ft no matter how much we warm them!

Best ive had is 1.80 but if you take a look at my youtube.com/elevationtc videos you will notice in my 12.4 run i spin in 1st

 

so im guessing that the Falken Azenis r only good for so much horsepower then?

 

you are most likely running too much psi if thats happening. lower the psi down to about 9 psi or when they start to wrinkle. i have the same size tires on weld 15x8 rims. you wouldnt want to really launch the car that hard though, because you most likely break an axle with that much traction.

 

I was running 9 psi in the tires.. exactly .. and 2steping at 10psi of boost at 5200 rpms..

 

then go lower.

 

eh, i dont have lsd so thats alot of power for 1 8" tire to put down.

Im going to switch it up to a 10" slick and look into the os giken diff

 

stick with the slicks you have. i bought mine from leslie durst when she came to what used to be moroso one year for the sport compact nationals. her car runs well into the 9's.

im also going to be looking into that os giken unit very soon as well as one of my next mods.
