(Mods move if necessary didnt really know where to put this one)

I am looking into buying some Greg Weld Wheels (15x10" & 15x5") and hook thoes babies up to some M/T tires (P275/50R15, not so sure they would fit on a wheel that is 10" wide).
I just want to know what everyone thinks about doing this with the Factory 10-bolt and A4 because they are both weak in the long run. The car only has 16,5xx miles on it. Mods are listed in my sig.
I know if i had the 10-bolt and a M6 it would only take so many passed before the 10-bolt *****.


HUGE EDIT: i ment drag radial.

 

Well I didnt run slicks but I have a 3000stall and I was on a drag radial all year lastyear with about 15pass's at the track and countless holeshots on the street and im still on my stocker. I personally dont think you will have a problem espicially since your a A4 but anythings possible

 

you will be fine look at my sixty foot on the stock 10 bolt and A4!

 

That did it for me man!
Your 60' is screaming fast!
What gears did you have?

 

Several 1.4X' and 20-30 1.5X sixty foots on my 10 bolt. But, its not stock though.

 

i run 4.10 with a 28inch slick and probably 50-60 1.4 sixty foots on it 150-200 1.5 sixty foot and so on....

300 or more passes on the rearend and its doing great

 

With an A4 the tranny will probably break before the 10 bolt will.

 

You'll be fine. Throw em on though and wait till it granades then upgrade to a 12 bolt.

 

What are some times people have layed down with 10-bolt, 3.23 gears, A4, full-bolt-ons (w/o aftermarket intake - stock ls1 only), free mods, (15x10" & 15x5") wheels, and some Mickey Thompson ET Drag (Worlds Fastest D.O.T. Class Race Tire.)

Full weight, with 3-5gl in the gas tank of 93.

Just an idea of the 1/4mi and 60' would be awesome.

 

I had 275-50-15 ET Street radials on 15x10 Weld Draglites and they fit fine. That's about the skinniest you can go with a 10 wide though.

 

I was looking for a tire that is less that 27"d and it doesnt look like M/T makes one. Is there one you suggest thats a bit wider?

 

The 275-50 radial is 26". That's going to be your best option with a radial as far as I know.

 

I ran the stock 10 bolt in my old Z28. With mods in sig I cut 1.5xs 60fts spraying off the line. I ran both E.T. Drags and E.T. Streets

FYI: I had 3.42s in the rear with a ring gear spacer

 

freal

 

get a soild pinion spacer and rear cover and it will help.

 

Looks like you have a stock stall so really the car will never leave hard hard enough to stress the rearend anyhow.

as far as you 1/4 mile times... cant be sure because each car is different but my guess since its a stock stall in the car with possibly a lot of added weight from the "helluva stereo" I'm guessing low 13's. possibly a high 12 sec time

 

You need a stall to use the slicks. I run 26x11.5x15 on Bogart D10 wheels thru A4 and 10 bolt. I ran all season like this, but i do have my fingers crossed each time. I have more HP this year we will see what happens.

 

I made the stereo compleatly removable. So with it removed you think i can do high 12s with the factory stall and the mods with slicks/drag radials? You think it could with 5 gallons in the tank and me weighing 150 pounds.
This is getting my hopes up!!!!!!!

 

+1 the sticky tires may actually slow the car down. With a stock stall you actually want just a little wheelspin off the line to get the car into its powerband quick. sticky tires will tend to bog a car down and chug through the low rpm range. It depends on the track and the car though so you might crack a 12 in the car. HArd to say for sure as there are just soo many variables.

 

You will be fine. I run 26x11.5 ET Streets on my stock A4 and 10 bolt, and used to run 325/50/15s with no problems also. Also with my stock stall my car still spun, so I dont see why everyone says your going to slow down if you dont have a stall.
