What Wheels And Tyres To Take To The Drags

[wildr33gtst]

I have got a set of 18" Rims with Pirelli P Zero Rosso Tyres 265/35/18's or Stock 300zx 16's with Bridgestone potenzas 205/50/16's both tyres are good on both set's of rims just wondering if it's worth putting on the 16's and giving them ago better profile but alot thinner or should i just put some semi slicks on the 16's? Really want to improve my 60ft my car either bogs down off the line or just spins. Anyone have any ideas that might help me get off the line? cheers

it all depends on you. if you want realism run the 18 inch tyres as you would on the street. if your after a 1/4 mile time only run semi slicks. manual or auto?

id like to see you run as i will roughly have the same sort of power.

and good luck at the drags

thinking about going tomorrow night at calder best time so far is 13.5 when i was running about 215rwkw with the best of a 2.45 60ft which is killing me, im really happy with the shifts once i get off the line but my main problem is my launch last time i ran the 18's, but bought the 16's last week and was going to put semis on them but they have brand new bridgestone potenza's g3's on it so i thought i might give them a go. don't know what to do

car is Auto thats what makes it so hard to get off the line but it really starts to pull midtrack last time i got a 108mph and now with a bit more in it and a better launch i'm hoping to see 12's thats been my aim for a while i know the car's got it in it just my takeoff's are shocking.

Buy a pair of 255/50/16" drag radials and run low 12's.

i'm picking up some RE55's semi slicks tonight getting them off a mate basically brand new i still cant see me getting a good 60ft maybe i might have to get a Hi stall torque converter or something, it seems that if my wheels start to spin and i jump of the brake it just spins and it kills my 60ft but if i stall it till it just wants to break traction it has a little hesitation then goes which still kills my 60ft but it doesnt snap and go which i would like it too. but i found thats the better way to do it just got to sort out the little hesitation.

low 12's would be excellent but don't think there is any chance of that happening unless i put a transbrake and torque converter in, i would love to leave the line with positive boost pressure but i have tried all different launch tecniques but like i said either to much wheel spin or it bogs down, Fark i love auto's but i hate them at the same time.

Iv got 17s on the front and 16 stockies on the rear. I was told wouldnt matter much
