Default Drag Tire & Wheel Suggestions

I have an 05 G35 sedan automatic with bolt ons and a 75shot. I want to increase the shot and get a tune, but the tires are barely holding a 75 shot in 1rst gear and I like to spray out the whole. Currently running 20x10s in the back with a 275/35/20 Yoko S Drive. rims and tires look nice but arent ideal for racing (too heavy and not sticky enough)

The car has the 3.3 vlsd diff in it. As seen in video car doesnt have much traction. If i torque brake then go WOT the car just spins all thru first. If i delay the nitrous hit by a second it spins less, but still more than ideal. I want to be able to torque brake, go WOT and hook.

I found some RX-7 16x8in rims for sale for $300. They weigh 16lbs and some people on the forum use them. Or maybe 350z 18x8.5 track wheels-19lbs.

I want either Mickey Thomson ET Streets Radials or ET Streets Radials II.
16x8 ET Streets-P255/50R16--26X10.50R16--treadwidth-9.6inches
ET Streets II-P295/50R16--28X11.50R16--treadwidth-10.8inches
or
18x8.5 Et streets II-P245/40R18--26X9.50R18--treadwih-8.5inches

I deleted your video....no street stuff. I'd go with the 26x10.5's since you have a 3.3FD. Good choice on the FD wheels. Let us know how it goes.

yes they are 5x114.3. Not sure of offsets. I will test fit them when I get home. What offsets would be good for a G35 Sedan? My fenders are rolled, car is lowered with 350Z revised springs, and camber is -1.6*

Do you still have your stock 18's or look for some coupe 18's. I would just put MT on those to look stock for your weekend stuff. The car would be faster without the 20's spray or not.

If not buy the rx-7 wheels and l will buy the other 2 to keep at my parents when I visit and want to hit the track.

I doubt he seperates them. Ive found two Z32 TT rear wheels 16x8.5 for $100. NO tires. I might get them, not sure yet

my factory 18s were 18x7.5 and not forged. They look like the forged coupe 19s, but were heavy and skinny.
