  • New Tire Setup - SOM WS6

    I kinda roughed it last year with tires - using some Yokohama Advan 032's

    I had these tires, that were on the car when I bought it - almost certain they were the original tires since the car only had 19k miles and they weren't even being used primarily. Serving no purpose other than a spare if one of the Advan's blew out.

    So I traded them for four Speedline wheels (now my second set) and 4 absolutely atrocious tires. IDK what the hell the guy was thinking with these.

    The plan is to have a DR setup with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's up front. 275 all four corners of course.

    The DR's I went with were BFGoodrich G-Force - they should be arriving today. Tons of information on which drag radials are best, but I think I'll be most pleased with these.

    Having the second set of wheels opens up a lot of options for me. I could take the set and make em' wides/skinnies for a drag specific setup, or I could just widen two of them (think 315's) and then find two more PS2's for a track tire setup. I think either way, it's going to involve getting two of them widened. Any suggestions for local wheel shops that will widen these wheels? I'm local to Plymouth, MI.

    Once I get the car out, and the setup on, I'll be sure to share my opinion on the setup. I've got very high hopes.

    Don't blow up that rear end! Weldcraft is THE place to go for wheel widening

      That's a definite possibility. I took it easy last summer, because I wasn't interested in breaking/replacing parts but this year I'm entirely ready to replace some things and build it even more.

      Good rear end to go with if it does happen?
