Drag Radials -or- Slicks
 

Im looking into getting some dr's or slicks for my 06' Z but im not sure what to get. they are going to be an extra set so im ONLY using them for the track. i want something that is going to just grab and go. so slipping no nothing... if i get enough power to the wheels i want them to lift the front of my car up. thats the kind of traction im talking about. ill buy some new rims if i have to (which i proabably will) and im guessing if slicks is the way to go im gunna want the fattest tire i could possibly fit but idk. any and all help will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

with your mods now...drag radials would hook up no prob...get bf dr 295 width...unless u r goin f1 u will hook no prob

I see you have a base model.

This set-up will work for you - 15 x 8 wheel with 5.5 back spacing. I run 275/60 Mickey's ET Street Radials but you could run a 275/45 also, I believe.

Also, I'm selling a used set for cheap $150 shipped.

well the thing is, i AM planning on going FI... im going to run a tuned vortech and try for like 400 to the wheels so i want something thats going to be good for when i get that also...

I put 417 lbs. of torque down on my used set with a 150 shot and they grip until you launch over 5500 rpm's. They have bogged a bit at 6000 when the track prep is perfect.

I have no idea what the new wheel/tires will do but a z with less power than me was cutting 1.71's with a very similar set-up.

suggestions for a

2006 G35 coupe with
stillen stage 4 sc
auto trans upgrade
technosquare ecu calibration
injen cai

and was having probs obliously with tracyion since he had his normal tires on

so i am looking for suggestons on a 15-17" light weight wheel and that can hold a 10" rear and slicks

thx guys

For the rears, 16 x 8 welds or centerlines(if your big money) w/ a 5.5 back spacing. The tires depend on if you want it street-able.

Here's what you can expect with 400 hp and some BF DR's

If you are replacing your stock wheels on your stock rims I suggest DRs. If you're getting a second set of rims, I recommend cheater slicks. You can swap the rims at home and legally drive to the track on the cheater slicks, and they grip ALOT more then DRs. I managed a high 1.6 with a set of Mickey Thompson ET Streets and I'm just an average driver. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a set of sticky tires.

wont stock tires be more then enough for the amount of power that a stillen car puts down? :icon39: i keed, i keed. :D

Not even wearing a helmet!? Not running 13's?:icon39:

drag radials or slicks
 

Man you got good eyes...Thats me...I didn't have my helmet that day. Bradenton was pretty cool about it, Jay and I usually try to get away with not wearing a helmet.

Didn't you see my helmet hanging from the mirror......

Yeah, that pic was of CoachK(Tom).

Alberto, you'd be in heaven at Bradenton! They don't check sh!t:)

They were letting civics run all day(mid 10 sec) without roll cages. I run 12 flats with no helmet and flip-flops on. The only thing I've been caught on was wearing a wife beater:icon17: .

so since im planning on gettting another set of rims just for the track that i can swap out what kind of rims do you think i need to get? i dont want to spend a rediculous amount of money on them either...

nope, they spun all the way thru 3rd and pulled a 13.6 :icon11: need traction, or he's spinning thru gears

he got thus far:
Stillen stage 4 sc
Stillen Upgraded Auto Tranny
Technosquare Ecu

how much you think he's putting down ???

Welds will run $160 a piece.

Your going to want 15 or 16 x 8 depending on if you have Brembo's with a 5.5 back spacing. Jegs prices can't be beat.

will this be the same for a G as well ???

i think im going to get me a set right NOW.
Till they come in what do you guys think about runing a racing fuel or 114 octane at the track tonight

whos got a link to where to get these wheels and tires?

i need a set also. on my 2005 g35 the rears dont have bbbk. im going to be running 500+rwhp

oh and do you guys change out your fronts? i have 20" forged wheels on i dont thing the weight savings is going to be that much.
