Traction/Active Handling Question
First of all, I tried searching (I know it's on here somewhere) but apparently I wasn't using the correct key words.
Question:
I remember reading on here that some people were having issues with the traction/active handling when using 18" wheels all the way around. Will I have an issue driving to the track on my 275/35/18 up front and my 305/35/18 drag radials on the rear?
Thanks for any information.

It's not the size of the wheel but the overall height from the tire/wheel.
So 25.6" front and 26.4" rear.
So a difference of .8"
Stock is 25.3" front 26.1" rear.
.8" difference.
You're good.

Thanks Steve. I didn't even think about that.. I figured it would be fine but I had to make sure.
I'm going to put the drag radials on for the day Sunday... I don't want my rear wheels just laying around the pits on an open test-n-tune.

Ya and a lot less junk to bring. Maybe a passenger could even ride with you haha. I think we are bringing joley's t/a again to log some runs for the tuner. Sooo looks like i'm bringing a lot tools again. We only got 1 set of drag radials.

I posted info similar to this yesterday, but when I corrected a spelling error, it somehow erased all but my first few words.... wierd
Sorry if you all thought I was drunk or something...
