i am modding my car to get around 400-500rwhp do you guys have any wheel tires suggestions to help keep the car gripping/hugging the ground

i have a blk sS prefer chrome or black wheels and bigger tire/wheel in back smaller in front

400-500 is a big gap but i would definitely get a m/t dr or hoosier dr ...nittos and bfg's will not cut it, as far as rims thats your call i only run 15's on my car if you run 17's you will be good to go with m/t or hoosier

if you go with a 18 i woulds say bfg dr over the nittos

1Fr3shblkss

i plan on going 17s up front and 18s in the back

then i would get a kumho up front and a bfg dr for the back

I personally would do 17s all the way around to save some money on tires. plus there are a few more options when it comes to drag radials i believe.

1Fr3shblkss

okay so you say 17s all 4 coners.. what size tire then?? wouldd prefer bigger meat in the back

if you get a 17x11 rear its a 315/35/17
front will be a 17x9.5 and will have 275/40/17

exactly. The M/T drag radials are very popular and have held up to a 9.09 by MightyMouse here on the site. Maybe i missed it but is this going to be a daily driven vehicle?

^^^ didn't MightyMouse go into the high 8's on that tire ?

I stand corrected i forgot about that!!

1Fr3shblkss

yes it will be a weekend vehicle not looking for track tires but street tires

well if you want to hook 500 rwhp you'll need more than a street tire ....

You're talking about traction, and hugging the ground, so I would stay away form a DR. Get a NT-01 or a Toyo R888. Much better street/road handling characteristics then a DR. And, I would also go with a 18" over a 17". A 18 is obviously going to have less sidewall flex, which isn't going to help handling.

Although, if you are talking about drag racing, then go with what has been mentioned. But, you never mentioned it, so I will assume just as others, only the opposite direction.

I'll be interested in what you decide on- I'm looking as well- I have 645whp and need tires and wheels also.

FWIW don't use any wheels using acorn nuts. For the second time I have bent ARP 1/2" X 20 studs using MT DR's. Total PIA taking out the axles and screwing in new studs.

You'll need a drag radial for sure. Look into the M/T street radials.

Blown Goat

That'll be the one.

Mickey thompsons dumdumdum. If ur serious about hooking up, I would concentrate on ur suspension setup.
