Thread: Slicks and skinnies.

check this site out http://www.exospeed.com/category.php?id=9, i think someone on the other forum fit them with big brakes, how much power you putting down? that will tell us what size. I have these 24.5 on b14 stock brakes, no issues

Find some 15s that will fit over the brakes if you can and get some Mickey T 225 50 15 or 235 60 15 if you want to ride high up front for them to fit. I know the 15s I have on some BFG DR fit on my buddys spec v with the basic brakes. You might want to look into finding some of the base line brakes from a spec v and just swaping them out when you want to go to the track. It is a pain in the ass but going fast isn't easy or cheap.

What's wrong with getting the BFG DR in 225/45/17 and put those on the stock spec wheels?

That's what I want!

DR's are a waste of time.

Just get full blown slicks. You'll thanks yourself later.

my tires from my xe are 155/80's stocks are supposed to be like 175's






unless you plan on using them on the street as well

This is a good idea. They are tall and they are wide. I would stick with these. You will get 2.0 60ft times with these which are good and they will do great on the street

you would get better times with a 15" wheel 225/50

Lets say Brembos again. There are Brembos on the car. I do not thing 15s will fit.

13s, 14s, and 15s can go right out the window. My stock SE-R 15s didn't even clear the rotor, let alone the caliper.

16s are possible with spacers pushing the spokes away from the caliper, same with 17s.

The problem I have is: Do they even make slicks that mount on 16 or 17" wheels? Even if they do, will the tires be too tall for my fender?

they let me run... every time

maybe i should add that they are not studded tires
