i may be getting a set of hoosier 29x10.5 slicks was just wondering what their fitment will be like how much work will i have to do to fit them ect.? they will most likely be on 15x8 summit rims w/5.5 bs.

your going to have to cut you back bumper, roll your fenders. With the mods in your sig that is one big tire to run.

Yeah thats a lot of tire to run with 3.42 gears. Are you 6-speed? If you are put some 4.10s and then you can run a 28" tire

Also forgot to mention if your still on your stock ten bolt say bye bye to that cuz its life will be short.

i no longer have the 3.42 i have a 3.73 and am worried about runnin out of 3rd gear in the quarter

I would say look for a pair of 26in tires.

at your listed time in the sig, you can get it done on a set of 27" hoosiers or a 28x9 ET drag.
set of drag radials will also work if the car is street strip.
no reason to run that big of a tire. it WILL slow you down.

yeah listen to TJ that tall of a tire will slow you down
unless you planned on running a taller gear

26"tire is too small when i run on bottle with my 3.73 im an a4,

I guess its different with a cam over nitrous then, Im running faster than that and only run a 26in tire.

you also dont want to put that tire on an 8" wheel it will slick walk like a bitch on the big end

while i wouldnt run a 26" tire from an appearance perspective, i think that tire would be fine for you traction wise. do you have an adjustable torque arm, shocks, etc?
harder you hit the tires, the more you are going to have to work on the suspension setup.
oh yea. the lighter the car the worse it will get. not a good combo for a 29.5 to be on a 8" wheel.
29x9 or a 30x9 works great if you go that route.

im really not to worried about the traction as i stated before i am running out of gear top end with my nitrous. that is the reason im looking at a taller tire. and i really dont care how the tires look on the car they would be strip only tires

TJ

i dont know how high you spin it. ill guess 6600.
with a 28" tire and a 3.73 gear, your car has a mathematical speed of 147.45mph
figure in converter slip of 6-8% and your car can go around 135mph.
higher rpm, you can go mph of course.
it would be close on a 26" tire depending on how much you intend to spray, but it may still make it.

tj r those figures for 26" tires or 28" tires and im also planing on a 3600 stall

TJ

figures are for the 28" tire.
