Default What size tire for my setup?

Yea I'm too lazy to search right now plus I need to get to sleep so this is my last post of the night...


given the mods in my sig, will a 26" tall ET Street be enough? Do they make a 27" tall one??? 28" Tall tires you have to roll the fender right? (and I will have a 12 bolt before I put slicks on).

Also while on subject... if I go w/a set of 16" Pro Stars will I have to grind my calipers (rear pro stars) ... I know 15" wheels I will have to... but how much...

Thanks

Horist, with your setup, I would maybe go with a 26x10.5" Hoosier QTP. Those things hook like mad. Unless you want something to run on the street too, then get the 26x11.5" ET Street.

With 16" ProStars, no caliper grinding is needed, but you'd hook better on 15s. More sidewall. I dunno how much grinding is needed, ask Zach, I think he's got 15s.
