SCMC Track Rental - Friday June 19, 2015

I'm ready......pulled my motor out this week!!

not a lot of options in drag radials for a 19 inch wheel

tell me about it. Z has 19s and I have found 3 options. I can run Mickey Thompson ET 2's in 305/30/19, Nitto 05R's in 305/35/19, or toyo R888's (track tire still sticky though) in 305/30/19.

I am thinking about getting a back up set of 19 rears for my Z and add radials to that since I DD my car they would be a waste of money lol

I have looked in to switching to something like a 18x12 rear setup but it's tough finding 18s that clear me rear brake calipers. there is a guy I know who just swapped his out for 350Z base brakes and is running 15" wheels and 28" MT DR's and has a set of slicks when he turns up the boost lol so traction is possible for the Z minus some rear camber and lots of rubber.

looks so funny seeing that much rubber on a Z lol

yep, I got the nt05r's, they are about $100 cheaper per tire than mickeys

I don't want to get involved with smaller rims and relocating brackets etc

I said the same. it'll be a pain to swap brakes just to gain a little bit on my ET on a car that's meant for corners lol
I just grew up at the drag strip so it feels like home for me.

only thing I don't like about the Nitto's is the aspect ratio of 35 on the 305s I would use would throw off the diameter setup for me F to R but if it's just for a few drag runs then swap it could work. hmmm

I am just putting this setup on for drag racing and the flashlights drags

I will run my normal street tires most of time

PJ - Wouldn't there be a lot of room brake-wise to go to a smaller diameter rim in the rear? It's the front brakes that you need the clearance for.

depends what size

if you go with a 15 inch wheel like kevin is selling, then you need to do relocation brackets etc.

I'm sure I would have no problem with an 18 inch wheel , but then they wouldn't match the fronts for when I do drive with them on

Skinny tires suque!!

Relocation brackets are only needed for a 15x10 15x8 does not need the brackets and works stock

[cam303]

I have a set of race star 15x8 wheels with et streets on them that I will sell for 500. Very little use on them I just went with a 15x10
