  • Stickies? Sizes?

    I have an offer from a good friend, who has a few (like 5) sets of brand new drag raidials/drag slicks. They offered me a set, for free! Hes getting me the sizes tonight, so the question is whats the biggest size tire I can stuff in the back with out seriously modifying the car?

    Depends on the offset of your wheels and width.

          Depends on the size rim yur running. If its a 16 I believe they only make a 255 for it. 17s I think you can get a 275 or 315 depending on the manufacturer

                    255 is the largest you can fit on a stock 16" wheel. 275 is the limit on a stock 17" wheel.

                        I surprised you broke your 10 bolt with an auto Steve they can usually take a heck of a lot more abuse than in a stick car.

                              You not the only one joel.... Talked to mike yesterday, he told me if they spin don't get out of it, because if the slicks grab under no load, pop goes the 10 bolt!
