Default I Need TRACTION !

My car is lowered to about 27 1/2 all around and I need traction! I really don't know if Nitto is ever going to come out with the 18" radial and the options seem to be to get a 17" OEM Y2K wheel and do the 315x30x17 Nitto DR. OR I can go with the 16" X 26.2 Mickey Thompson E.T Streets with which wheel. Who knows what tire/wheel works??:rolleyes:

I can't make up my mind.. :confused:

Aren't traction problems fun?? :D

You seem to be someone that takes his dragracing very seriously so the very best solution would be the CCW Wheel Drag package. It comes with 16x11 and 16x5 wheels with ET Streets for the rear and skinnies for the front. It is a bit pricey, but you will not beat it for traction at the track and you would be seeing some 1.6 60foots for sure! :cool:

Yes, Eric has ET streets on his for the track and he even said he drives 30 min to the track with them on.
You have an awesome trans now, minus well go for the ET Streets, you will hook up forsure with those, even at Moroso I bet. ;)
