4.10s and a blower and 18inch wheels will equal no traction if your interested in drag racing, just FYI

I had those exact wheels on my car, and didn't like it. So the 17s went back on

why didn't you like them?

the tires i would go with are only .3" diff. in sidewall, so it wouldnt be crazy low sidewall

as to the drag time, i rarely go, and i dont get traction there anyway

18's for looks, 15's for Go. 17's for a little of both. The real question is, how serious are you about what you want to do with your car?
