mounting slicks.... few questions?....

[boost fiend]

ok, so a buddy from work is cleaning out his garrage and has decided to hand me a decent set of drag slicks. mickey's if i remeber correctly. has anyone mounted drag slicks on there supra? will they fit in the wheel well or to i need to change somthing?

i only plan on running them at the strip and a lil on the weekends. any info?

 

[bigal0043]

alot people keep their saw blades for their slicks...

agreeed^

 

[boost fiend]

ok, well then let me rephrase the question, being that the side walls and tread pattern are bigger will it fit in the stock wheel well or do I have to tub???

I think the slicks might be 15s, I got to double check that.......

 

[IHI-RHC7]

It all depends on what size slick it is...

 

[MK3Brent]

If they are 15's you'll need 15" wheels of course..

anything sub 275 will fit fine on a 16" sawblade...

Give us a size and we can tell you if they fit. They could be 315 34 on 20's for all we know LOL :aigo:

What's the problem with that?

 

[boost fiend]

ill get him to check on the sizes for me tomorrow.

so ill take it that the general consennses sez that i can mount them with no problems.

The general consensus says find the size out and we'll tell you what size wheels you'll need to fit them if they can fit at all

If the offset is doable, and the bolt pattern is correct... I think so.

 

[boost fiend]

well, while i was at the shop today, i mounted them on the car. there on rims that fit already. and damn fella, they took up the whole wheel well! nice stance, but i do have to look into diffrent rims i think:evil2: .

i know, your all gonna start screaming"pics! show us pics!", well i cant yet. didnt have the camera with me. sorry. soon though.

 

[MK3Brent]

I'd like to see the style rim, if you can find a picture online of the same brand, ect.

I'll buy them from the guy if he wants... I'm in the market for some traction!

 

[boost fiend]

there mine now! sorry. el chepo steel rims and older tires. gonna clean em up this weekend and think about making a lil video in a lot somewhere!!!

 

[Slow66]

i bet when the car squats even a little, they'll rub......

 

[boost fiend]

from the looks of things, yeah, thell rub. i only intend to run them on special weekends and on drag days. im looking into a new strut setup for the rear at the moment and will probable be looking into a adjustable setup/spacers.

it does look mean as hell though!:evil2:

Just wondering... since somebody mentioned that everybody puts slicks on their sawblades. Whats the best size to get? and yes i guess it would matter if your lowered or not. But what would you have to consider if you went from stock suspension to a beefier setup.

Sry to highjack if i did.
But am pretty interested in buying some slicks for my sawblades.

Also what they usually go about brand new?
