Traction help
Hi! I have a 2014 stingray with ecs novi1500 sc, ar long tube headers, and alky control meth kit, 658rwhp and 599 torque... traction in first and second was really bad so I switched to toyo proxes(285/35/20)on the rear and got about a 40% increase in traction but still spinning a lot... some people have told me to go down to 18 inch rims and more tire... what is the widest I can go, and will it help a lot or will I still spin a lot? Would changing the gears help? Or can someone suggest what I can do to get more traction? Thanks guys
