If you have 18's.........................you can run these.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3782R/ -might fit an 8-8.5" rim.......not sure

These would still be light years better than your street tires

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MTT-3780R/

You should be able to cut high 1.7's even with the relative short sidewall......worst case is a 1.80.

16's are limited in quality DR's.

Ya but my 18's are boat anchors. Maybe if I can find some lightweight ones, run a higher sidewall I could skip getting re-geared? I really want to be able to hold 4th gear to the end...

LOL a cam/fast 90/90 setup would be fun, but once I get the funds together its getting boosted

Supercharged FTW

Well, I am going to go out on a limb and cancel Sat......the weather looks terrible. Hopefully some of you guys can make it out on Halloween for a "make-up" track day. If it clears up I will be there though.

Due to some nagging issues with the car.......that seem to have compounded tonight at Capital.....I won't be running or up there tomorrow. Don't know if anyone had planned to make the trip, but I apologize for not being there.
