recommended rims+tyres for best 1/4 for r33

[MRK25T]

I am aiming at getting a decent 1/4mile time in my s2 R33 gtst and would like to know what rim and tyre combination I should choose just for the 1/4 mile (on a budget).

Should I buy 2 ratty standard gtst rims and put a wide tyre on it like 255?

Nah.

If you can find an older 14 or 15 inch rim with the right offset and bolt pattern you can get proper second hand drag style radials to suit (MT's etc).

Alternatively, some second hand soft compound tyres in a 55 or 60 profile and maybe 235 in width could be treated with some OZrace AZNU traction compound for the 16inch stockies.

That mph in your signature is awfull, you must be making the same power as a stock vehicle maybe even less. Have you found any problems since you did the 1/4 mile pass?

Thanks for the reply rev210.

As mentioned in one of your other threads, I haven't tried the 1/4 mile. I just felt left out not having 1/4 mile time in my sig so i put some figures up that i should easly beat... a PB is on the cards.

I might go with a stock r33 rim and get a 55 or 60 profile 235 or so.

I want a street tyre at a budget so are there any suggestions what to get and where to buy them?

The simex tyres are pretty good and about the cheapest around.

I have a set of 205's and they hold on well for a 205.

You need a fairly tall profile to allow for sidewall flex. 60 profile is better than 50. 235 will be plenty.
