dyefuker Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 hey man, not sure you even have to do that, i ran 15inch slicks on the back or my r33 gtst and they fit on fine with no problems with the rear brakes, and iv got the 4pistion fronts and 2 piston rears which im prity sure are the biggest stock r33 gtst brakes? they were 15inch wheels of a au falcon which run the same stud pattern and offset, and they had 205 semi slick tires on them, griped like buggery and made me able to make a 13.5 second quarter mile with my stockish r33 hope this info helps ya Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/271617-setting-my-car-up-for-drag-racing/#findComment-4615784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Also don't run hard coilovers at the rear. Even stock suspension is better, needs a bit of dip for traction.
