Just got some new wheels and tires!

Congrats on the new wheel purchase. I want to get a set of slicks for my car too. But I'm probably going to go with 17's or 18's for the road courses

Sold to raise some more funds for house renovations.

Wish I could have kept them, these are 31lbs each...wheel and tire. My 17" Rotas and Dunlop Direzzas are 46lbs each. An easy 60lbs of rotating weight.

Pulled some low 1.4 60fts(1.42 was my best I believe) on stock axles with these tires. 3500lb race weight. They will break axles if you launch hard enough.

Just out of curiousity, what are the specs on the rims and tires (size and offset etc)?

16x8..25mm offset IIRC. 26x9.5" Hoosier QTP's. The wheels fit 1st gen brakes without issues, I never tried them with 2nd gen brakes.

Thanks for the info, I'd maybe need to switch up the offset for my 2nd gen

:BangHead:

You might as well save yourself the head ache and get a set of Ray's 300m axles now.

At the very least, bring extra rear axles to the track.

lol. i was gonna say please dont break anything! slicks are probably a whole different ball game when it comes to traction.:eek4:

Looking forward to seeing it rip down the track!

didnt Matt snap the 300m axles and the stock held that monster? Im not worried about the axles right now. I am going to be dropping the tranny and replacing the output shaft seal and put a new TOB in. Then Im going to crack open the tracnfer case and reseal it since i have a tiny leak on the top side. other than that, gonna lighten her up some more. I already know im going to be kicked off the track this yr so ill have to get a cage soon too..
