so i am buying new wheels trying to figure out which tire size will be better at the track. i am either going with the 17'' sve wheels or the 15'' billet specialties street lites, i would rather go with the 17'' wheels but i dont know about hooking at the trackwith the 26'' tall slick that M/T makes anyone have good luck with those?

what gears are you running?

Street Lites with a 27" the shorter sidewall is crap for launching. Oh wait I am kinda biased...

iam running a 3.73 just wanted to know if the 26'' m/t slick on a 17'' wheel would hook or not

lizzyfan

It should

1fast 99gt

haha should, i dont wanna buy another set of wheels for the track so if they dont hook ill just buy the street lites and put a 27'' tall tire

Does M/T offer a 17" slick?

well all i know is 26 inch is factory height pretty much, and my na car ran drag radials not slicks and it hooked good. and i know a guy with a turbo fox running drag radials on that size in a 17 and he runs 1.8 60s with no suspension...so i would think i slick would be fine

yea i just found out the other night its a 26x11.5x17 et street just like the slick just DOT

That will definately "hook", but the shorter sidewall of a 15" rim will just help that much more for racing at the track. I consistently cut 1.72-1.73 60' times on mine with stock power and minor suspension mods.
