I'm wondering this because I can get free road course slicks don't really know what you call them. Looking to make the car a street/strip/road course car.
Hoosers/Perelli/Dunlop
235/35/18
250/640/18
Plus a couple of different sizes. I can have my pick. My GF's dad has two Porsche cup cars and has a ton of take offs that are still good. I just need to find some wheels to run them.

Thanks

Maybe its like when people just write zeros in to make it look cooler? Like my truck says 37x12.50
