What kinda tire do you have on the front now?

Love the car, I really wanna do a stripped 5.5gen like you some day.

 

still running the hoosier slicks for now (255/50/16) on Oz wheels, im looking to get 15's and REAL slicks, and thanks alot man! I appreciate it knowing there are people out there that appreciate what im doing. she's all stored for winter now tho, until next spring so the REAL fun can begin!

 

15's and some 24.5 slicks are going to make a hell of a difference!
You're gonna love it!

Yeah a lot of people don't understand what we do but we're going fast on a budget. As long as we're having fun screw the other guys lol.

 

exacly i just sold my old suspension and probably could have sold the interior and all of that to have come close to breaking even for sure, but i just want to enjoy this for as long as i can for the cheapest way possible, at the end of the day im doing this because i wanna see how fast i can go with spending the least amount of money. The best is lining up beside a 60k+++ car and walking all over it. Let alone over 100k in some cases.

 

what size rim would i need to fit those slicks? would a 15x7 work? or even maybe 4th gen maxima wheels 15"?

 

depends on the width of slick you use.

 

I would try to use a wheel as wide as the slick to maximize the contact patch of the tire.

 

im looking at a pair of Goodyear slicks right now 27x8x15 the guys said the inner diameter of the bead he said is 7.5" im wondering if it would be possible to mount these of stock maxima 15" wheels that are 6.5"wide or will i need to buy atleast 7"?

 

8" wide tires will work on a stock 6.5" wide wheel, but those slicks are pretty tall. I would go for something in 23x8 or 24.5x8

 

yeah don't go taller than stock (26"). Definitely want to be more around 23-24.

 

beauty! thanks for the input, im lookin around seein whats for sale used around me

 

+1

I used a 26" tall tire and it was too much. A 24.5" tall tire would have been perfect!

 

bought 24.5-8-15 M/T Slicks mounted on 15x7 drag dr-21. Mounted and balanced at 27.2 LBS/rim+tire (20psi). saving about 1lb per wheel of rotational mass, should make a pretty big difference

 

Gonna be a fun car with those slicks on the front!

Mid 12s are in the future!

 

I wanna be realistic so im thinking about 12.4 hopefully. Thats my goal for this summer, i got a NICE BIG list of things to do! cant wait for all this snow to melt, to start!

 

I think that's definitely attainable!

 

Hope so with my 4" intake now added to the list of mods :P

 

That's a great mod to make! Guys have made some big gains with a 4" intake and larger maf housing.

 

its a 4" intake w/ integrated Maf housing, +Cosmo racing underdrive pulley, + Gutting insides out of UIM,+ port and polishing UIM and LIM,+ shaveout elbow,+strip more weight and retune

 

Car is going to be a lot of fun!
