Slicks, What size? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Mach 10 · 09-14-2006, 03:03 AM

I'm currently running 26.0x11.5-17 MT ET Streets and getting 1.8-1.9 60 fts.

I'm looking to go to slicks, but don't know what size rim, backspacing and tire size and brand to run.

I want something that will bolt directly up without any grinding of brake parts, or that require different lugs.

Can anyone help me out here

You are already running the best street slick out there now IMO. You can certainly get more out of those tires in terms of et reduction. I pull consistent 1.6's with that same tire on my car, and I have even hit 1.5's twice.

Your 60's are not likley to improve from those numbers until your get a higher stall converter.

I have a 3200 stall and this is on an unprepped airfield...that's slicker than the street...I was running Nitto DR's last year and it was like running on street tires
