I honestly don’t know lol haven’t picked up car yet. That’s the pic shop sent me after install. They were gonna lower and align it then do some wiring of electronics then dyno tune. Hopefully be ready this week and I’ll let you know. FYI call Carlyle they will fix you up!

Both of these answers are truly helpful, thank you guys!! BooSSted, which wheels did you end up going with after the replicas? I was worried about how the 15" conversion would feel and those were the reassurances I needed. What I think I may do -
1 - do a 15" conversion to the car
2 - Buy an 18" setup for the street / roll racing
3 - Buy a 15" setup for the strip
I think this is my best bet to check all my boxes. Its not the cheapest solution, but I fully understand paying to play.
Unreal, what wheels and tires do you use for your 15" setup?

I'm making 800 and are running the nitto nto5r 345. I pulled a 1.5 60 ft and they hook up on a roll. I'm now adding a fuel system and e85 and idk if they will hook. If not I will prob go with a 18" replica and Mickey Thompson tire I heard the hook at track and Handel well on street. I have 18" forgestar and Hoosiers that I want to use at track due to being 32lbs lighter and shorter but I have to retune the car or the tranny won't shift right and they won't Handel very well on the street

I am running the MT P325/35R18 "27X13.50R18" ET street R on 18 x 12 Forgeline GA1R's
1.31 to 1.35 60ft. They are smooth on the street but little to no grooves so you don't want to get caught in the rain with them

Spindles, custom lower control arm and Carlyle has an awesome 4 piston caliper setup so you don't need to drop to a single piston setup.

I run Nitto NT05R's 345/30/19 on OE replicas and OE's up front with run flats.
If you're talking 830 rwhp I would consider a Weld or comparable drag pack with 17" x 4.5" up front and 15's out back. It will cost you some $ to accommodate this, but no 18" or 19" dr is going to hook as well as a 15" dr, IMO.
Good luck!
