Just ask the guy in Perth who hit the wall in a supercharged Commodore..Slicks/Frontrunners require 15" rim on the front and rear, so brakes need to be small, ie not PBR brakes. \Go MT's on a 9" wide rim.←15' will not fit BA rear full stop.16's with some 255 rubber would be perfect. or even some 275/40/17 street-strip tyres such as the nitto's or federals.

Posted 08/12/06 03:53 AM Share Posted 08/12/06 03:53 AM In my opinion your best bet would be some MT ET Streets. Get the 275/40/17's and have them fitted to standard 17" XR rims.I've done well over 100 passes on this combination and never had an issue. I dont get wheel spin and can consistantly get 1.57/1.58 60's. My car runs consistant 10's with these tyres and it's like driving down the freeway. Unless your aiming to go quicker than 10.5 I really wouldn't go with any other tyre.Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 2m 4d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 08/12/06 09:23 AM Share Posted 08/12/06 09:23 AM Can someone please tell me why you must use front runners with slicks ?I gather frontrunners are the skinny wheels you see on more serious drag racers ?I am curious as I would not think there would be no issue running slicks all round down the 1/4.
