What rim/tire for 700+hp on the street? Going to have 700+rwhp this summer and my 315 Nitto drag radials are not going to hold up. The plan is to sell my Fikse FM-5 17x11's and go with a Fikse FM-5 16x? on a stickier tire. I think I am also going to go with a 12 bolt that is 2 inches shorter on each axle to give the rims that drag look.
The problem is, I don't know what height, what width and what tire I should run. Whats the difference between slicks and ET streets etc.?
The car will not be driven in rain and I have a daily driver to keep the miles down to 150-200 a week. What tire will hook and last on the street?
Also, will 17's up front look stupid with 16's in the back? Should I ditch the front set too and go with a skinnier tire? Any help is appreciated. Mike.
