With backspacing for a 4th gen?Originally posted by kammi10 View Postvinnie i would just buy the fronts and then keep watching tech for some rears.. or buy them new since the rims themselves are very cheap
Though I could always wait until I build an ate-ate and narrow it to fit...no way I'd be able to take a corner on those front runners though eh? Sectional width on those tires is like 7" though so I wouldn't exactly call them "skinnies".

on my tires? they are VERY skinny, let me assure you that. I wouldnt not recommend doing any road racing with skinnies, but I drive with sknnies on the street just fine. I dont even have a set of "street wheels"Originally posted by Fbomb View PostWith backspacing for a 4th gen?

thanks Jeff.Originally posted by DETROITMUSCLE View Postif you need the contact patch width I can go outside and measure
Vinnie- section width is different from actual tread width. These dont even lay close to 7" of tread on the ground. only race tires are measure by actual contact patch.
ex: a 12.5" et street is the same tread width as a 10.5 et drag. its confusing I know, but search for it and you will understand
EDIT: im sure Jeff or anyone who has seen my car can vouch that these are normal looking skinniesLast edited by ThreeHonks; December 2nd, 2010, 12:32 PM.

the front tires on my cavalier are wider than these if that puts it into perspective.Doing less with more

Hmm...usually I judge it by sidewall height in relation to sectional width. I mean, if the sidewall is really low and the section is wide then the contact will be almost as wide I suppose.
Now I just have to decide whether I want to drive on a drag setup all the time or if I want to get wheels/tires I can corner with. I think going with the drag setup will still be cheaper though because the tires/wheels I want come out to about $1300.
Ryan if I buy yours would you be willing to hold them for me for 3 weeks?

They are normal skinnies, dont worry about that. If it means anything to you, I drive with them on the street all the time and I dont even have a front swaybar. Its honestly not that bad.Originally posted by Fbomb View PostHmm...usually I judge it by sidewall height in relation to sectional width.

I would not have a problem saving them, I just dont want to pass up another possible buyer if you (for some reason) fall through.

I think I'll buy them then Ryan. Do a setup similar to this: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/wheels...rts-lovin.html but I'm not gonna run 325's
I'll be home on Dec. 19th
