question about slicks....which size?

tireburner163 · 02-02-2005, 01:52 AM

My car was find with the 5.5" BS drag-lites with no exhaust beating or rolling of the fender lips. You just couldn't go around corners fast, which wasn't a problem anyway due to the front tires being P165's and having no front sway bar.

I'm gonna mount up the rims later on this week when it quite pouring down rain and see how they fit. Maybe I won't have to do too much work to get them to fit correctly, I need to roll the fender lip anyway. Dark, did your's rub the inner part of the fender or the fender lip?

They rubbed the inner part of the fender. You couldnt feel it or hear it but when I would pull my slicks off you could see where they were rubbing on the launch and the inside corner of the tire was a little torn up.

This is why god has blessed us with the BFH

Let us all bow our heads and give thanks for this gift.
