hey guys, i have decided that my car will probably never hook on the street tire which are 345-35-18's. on a 18X13 wheel. I have started to look into other options for the track.
1) have my stock wheels made wider. But this would require a stud change and look like crap when my volks are on.
2) Have a set of wheels made. This brings up my next question how wide should you go with a wheel to mount slicks on. I mean if my 18X13's dont hit on stock tire does that mean i should order a 17X13 or smaller?
3) Is there any proven facts that a 16" rear wheel works that much better than a 17" rear wheel. Assuming tires size factor is worked out correctley, same tire, same track same prep. Reason for this is im not sure i want to swap out rear brakes to 16's...
So any thoughts you might have on this would be helpful.
thanks
Shawn
