Welp driving around town with the T-5Z and 4.11's with my motor in my sig. first and second gear anymore than half throttle and the car spins the tires pretty crazy like. I don't think my car has that much power. I am getting new 4 leaf springs soon I have stock 6 cyl. springs and slapper bars. I get zero wheel hop. Third gear seems to get traction but the first two are useless. So I have Diamondback 225 tires. I was trying to find a 275-55-16 tire. My wheel offset is unknown but I do not have much room to the springs. More than likely could fit a 255ish without too much issue once I get the new springs. For a 275 probably need a 1" spacer or so. How wide should I go? For my setup. Also should I get a set of slicks? They are insanely expensive at damn near 250$ a pop! What tire would you recommend?
you should be able to fit a 255 with out any modifications like rolling the fender lips. a 275 usually requires the fender lips to be rolled and may need the fender lip pushed out some.
I cannot find a 275-50 or 55 in a 16" aside from a true slick. I am pretty sure I would need spacers with my wheels since I only have about 1" to the leaf springs as is.
Are these nitto 245's adequate with my power level? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/nit-180480 They are actually almost in my budget.
I say go as wide as you can. You should be able to fit 255's no problem. You may not think it is much of a difference, but it is noticable. I used to run 295's(Nitto 555's btw) on my Cobra Mustang. Now I run 285's and I can tell the difference. I will go back to the 295's.
