Just wondering what size tire should I run on my 08 tc if I swap to 16x7 rims so the speedo is still correctly calibrated?? also just wondering if 15x7's will fit the tc??

and why would you want smaller wheels?

 

Lighter weight for 1/4 mile racing im going all out with a Stage 3 GT TT kit and I want to be as light as possible without any body mods like cf hatch or hood..

 

get some light weight 17s.

 

Find me a set of lightweight (15lbs or less) 17's that are black or black with a polished lip and ill buy em!! I cant seem to find any though

 

If it's for drag, why does it matter if the speedo is correct? Get some 215/40/16 slicks.

 

Its for drag but its also going to be daily driven. and I will be riding around on bfg drag radials which should be good when heated up properly at the track

 

17x7.5 et 40


pricey but VERY high quality looks great and VERY light weight!

Yeah for a set of black 17x7.5's with centercaps and lugnuts it came to over $2500 no thx lol

 

true =x

konig feathers are nice and light, i had a set of those, i think they where 16 lbs for 17x7.5s and come in black or silver

those are 146 a wheel

 

I may go with the Daylites although the only black wheel they offer has a yellow stripe around it which I will definately have to have powdercoated over. in 17x7 they only weigh 14.2 lbs

 

I have Motegi tracklites and they are only like 17x7.5 and 15 lbs or so

 

i was interested in the tire sizing for 16" rims... i want more of a sidewall and more meat on the tire... gravel and car washes are killing my 17s... what would be the best tire for a 16" rim and still have the speedo correct?

 

Rota slipstream probably. Go 245/45/16 or 245/50/16 on a 16x8 wheel.

 

Try 215/50R16. You are only -0.6% off from stock which does not affect speedo.

 

Good point but not extending the width of the rubber defeats alot of the purpose...

 

225/50R16 is the closest you will get to the stock overall diameter. It would +1.0%.
