V8 Supercar Slicks

[Kaido_RR]

Hey,

Looking for some info regarding V8 supercar slicks (Dunlop 280/680/17), is it a good idea to run this on a track spec r32 gt-r?

My rims are nismo lmgt-4 17x9.5 +15, will the tyres fit on my rims?

The car is running around 350-400hp, mild mods nothing crazy, do i risk breaking my drive-train/axles/transfer case if i run the slicks?

I am currently using Advan AD08 and find them to be great, but i want more a more track spec tyre

Cheers

From what I've read you'll be lucky to fit them with the standard front suspension (specifically the goosenecks). We run a 240/625/17 no problems, and I believe a 650 diameter fits.

We run similar horsepower and the grip is great around the corners but a little bit tail happy on throttle.

Cheers

Why?

If the AD08's arent doing it for you grab some semi's from the local tyre dealer.

If the Cyber EVO can knock of the V8 Supertaxi EC lap record on semi's there is no real need for a full slick really

I would concentrate more on car setup than compensating with a slick tyre

You're wasting your time with V8SC slicks. You'll need 11inch wide rims (can use them on a 10 but wouldn't go any narrower) and with the stiff springs you run, lack of body stiffness (ie no roll cage) and the massive side wall they have, the car will be bouncing around like a pogo stick.

Not to mention that they can't be bought in good condition and anything you can get your hands on are rubbish that not even DVS guys would go near.......

Sc slicks can't be compared to any semi. Try and do as many laps on any semi as a sc control tire will do with the same consistency and speed.
