I'm @ 800ft lbs of Tq and my MT ET Streets do just fine.. 345/35/18

beastly car. looks like you're launching in 2nd and going WOT in 3rd? tough to hear with the wind but looks like then winding out 4th gear all the way to the end.

TXGS507

Yes Sir... thats' exactly what I am doing... Need to do the TR6060 @ some point....

neverstop

thanks. On 17" ET street R i can hook up 100% of 900whp/860tq and also found i was a few mph faster. Really wish there was some way to hook up 90-100% WOT In 2nd on the street but seems like without going to 15" tire probably not possible

in what size?
315/35 or 305/45?

Smoove

I need to find a DR to fit my 16's.

sorry, i should have added "can hook up 100% of THIRD GEAR" meaning i can't hook up 2nd at all on the street which I would like to build the car to do if it is possible at all on a 17" tire.

15" conversion not really in the cards

tire size on my MT ET street R tires are 305/45/17

Just yesterday I saw on Craigslist where a guy is selling a set of 15in WELD S71 wheels Custom made for his C5.... If I didn't have flared fenders i'd buy em!!!

Smoove

Forum member is selling CCW 16's with 295-50 MT drag radials. Also has 17" skinnys up front.

He wants like 1800-1900 hundred for them I think.

Classics(all black).

Weld 15" wheels new are about $350 a piece which is affordable imho.
The biggest obstacle is dishing out $1700 for a pair of spindles.

Tipot

just think you can buy cheap sticky tires once you are set up with 15s
remember it could be worse you could be buying spindles with canadian pesos LOL i still dont wanna add up what i cost me for the new wheels and tire setup

edit... i just noticed your in canada too lol . so you get to pay an extra 30points too lol

neverstop

the spindles are the issue, cost is nuts on those.

Jason913

they are VERY proud of them. Have increased prices each year too....
I refuse to spend that kind of money on aluminum.

I get pretty good traction with my 335 Toyo R888!!

Ok...decided to go to a 15" wheel setup.
Let's see how these do.

Congrats
Are those MT Rs or Pros ?

95vettski

275 pros. I would consider the Rs but they don't offer the same size.

TXGS507

Verrrry nice... Keep us posted!! Lets see em mounted up...

My car goes back under the knife here in a couple of weeks ( Wann go fast is coming up).. I hope to have right at these numbers.

Very nice!

thanks, with iron block LSX and all the options my car is a heavy pig though and with turbo you should be faster. 900whp street car with heated seats, AC and nav is not bad though honestly anything at 500whp+ though is starting to get really gnarly for a street car!


Vetteski:

really interested to hear your feedback on the 15" tire conversion. if those can dead hook 2nd on the street I may have to pony up for the conversion once my 17" tires wear out.
