Slicks? I have a 99 TA. I'd like to maximize my traction for the track, so I'd like some slicks. I don't really know much on how to fit them. I do know that they grip and flex. Can someone give me any wheel/tire recommendations on brands and sizes. Thanks. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Slicks? Well all depends on how much you want to spend, you could contact Speed Inc. www.ls1speed.com
They sell bogarts, there is no caliper grinding required with these rims...
I myself am running prostars, I got mine from billingsley racing, I'm running 15x10's Weld Prostars in the back, and 15x3.5's in the front, I run 5/16 spacers all around, I also have extended studs in the rear, I did A LOT of grinding to the rear calipers to get those 15x10's to fit, had to completely grind off the bumpstop as well, and had to hammer out the fender wall..
I still need turn the upper lip of the fenderwall though, cuts into my tires every once and a while, mainly because I am running Eibach lowering springs in the rear... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
