Stock 16"Alloy wheel with MT/DR VS. 17" Smothie 2 315/35/17 w/is better at the strip? Just trying to figure out what the weight difference is between the two wheels. I was thinking if the stock wheels are maybe 20 each lighter than the boyds it may be worth it to give up a bit of tire with for a 80lb loss on the whole car. I am guessing 20 a wheel just by lifting them both. Plus the side wall is much larger on the 255/50/16. Am I off on my thinking here for some reason?
I run a 17x8 smoothie in the front and a 17x10 Smoothie in the rear with 275/40/17 nittos...
The stock 16" alloys are 16x8 all the way around.... I would get a 255/50/16 Mickey Drag Radial for the back.
What to do, what to do?? I just cut a 1.6 60' on my bald 275/40/17 nitto so now I am really lost, if I would have had another run I think I could loaded it up more and cut a 1.5
