Racing Slicks ?

[97_hatch]

I'm going to be buying some drag radials soon and wanted to get some facts.

Actually, the only question is. I got a 97 Hatch, dropped with some H&R's. You guys think I'd be able to run 225/50/15's up front without a lift or fender roll. And will these fit Stock GSR rims?

And has anyone ever used the Kumho MX's, I think the Ecsta V710?

Also, if anyone knows of some slicks that'll fit 14's-15's without being priced so high. I'm not looking for the huge slicks either.

I am running BFG drag radials on my car in a 205/50-15. Heather has the same ones in a 14" on steelies for the track. I have heard great things about the H&R's, though. Here is some info on the BF Goodrich drag radials

First what motor/tranny are these going on, I'm thinking the setup you posted above is going to throw your speedo of by 3 - 5%. For sizing use this link. Tire cal.

Yeah. my friend also has the 205/50/15 and he's running good with it too. I'm just wondering if I use the 225's since it will be wider, would I get even better grip with a little bit bigger side wall?

Well, I dont mind about the Speedo since this'll just be for track use only. But it'll be run on a gsr motor with a B16 tranny.

If its just a stock motor...stick with bfg's but if your really dead set on getting a slick get a 20" or 22" on 14's and that should be more than enough

Cool.. I'm probably goin to just stick with the BFG's for now but you think I can fit the 225's on there with no problems?

[cynosurecivic]

the mickey thompson et street drag radials and hoosier drag radials are something to consider.

[Hybrid_Coupe]

yeah...the 225's will fit...you might consider raising the rear of the car a little to help counter the weight transfer

Alright..

Got the info..


Thanks guys........
