You'll be fine with the ET radials. With the auto I'm sure you'll be fine with ET streets also.

You can get wheels the shape of dild0s to run on the street for all we care. BEST BET FOR THE TRACK aka cheapest/most effective, is pick up a set of V6 mustang wheels and run a 235/60/15 like whitefox stated. I'm in the process of picking up a set myself too.

So didn't you just say you wanted slicks???

Lol figure your shat out!

Take it to the track with some et streets. Launch it hard. Break an axle. Buy stronger axles.

Build it, race it, break it, repeat.

Oh and buying tires for 18inch wheels sucks, they are all soooo expensive. Plus the bigger wheels add weight to the car.

On an 18x10 wheel, the absolute widest tire that I would go with is a 305. Would probably end up running a 295 though.
