245x45x16s to 275x40x18s
Last time I went to the track I had 245x45x16 on my car. Now I have 275x40x18s on it now. Do ya'll think its gonna hurt me at the being that its a taller tire with stock 273 gears. If it dont rain thursday Iam going to the track to try to get a better time. Since I put on SLP Lid,K&N Filter,Smooth Bellow. This time Iam gonna run with the traction control off.
Do ya think the 2" taller tire now isnt gonna mess with me that much.

i went from a 245 to a 275/40/18. i really cant notice anything as far as speed but it still went 8.7 in the 1/8 with exhaust and the z06 rims with 2.73 gears.
i wonder why your rubbing with a 275 i never rub and i know many people who dont with a 275. but yeah you can beat it with a hammer a lot of guys on here do that to fit like a 315 tire

No I dont now but the carfax came back clear. Iam gonna goout there now to see if the rear is centerd in the car. Since I put 30psi in the tires they havent rubed at all even with a passenger. how much air should I run in theses tires.

That's a pretty big difference. With that tall of a rear end gear, even with the new lid and increased section width, I think the increased overall gear ratio and unsprung weight increase is going to cause you to see a slightly slower time than before but that's just a guess. It really depends how much the new tires help your 60 foot time from before.
Also I'm not sure why you are rubbing. Lowered? Don't use a sledge hammer or claw hammer. Use a dead blow hammer if you don't want to ruin your fenderwalls

Tomorrow Iam gonna go back if its not raining. This time Iam gonna run with traction control off and I put SLP Lid,K&N Airfilter, SLP Smooth Bellow on the car.I heard from a couple people that traction control slows the car down.
