Do you want them the strip? I would just put a mt on the stock rim. I did a 1.66 60' with 17" mt dr's and completely stock suspension.

**2001GTTT** · 01-29-2008, 10:05 AM

yea they are for the track, they are slightly used and i heard that they hook gooooood

thanks alot for that neil, i couldnt seem to find that at all.

**scott5** · 01-29-2008, 12:25 PM

**2001GTTT** · 01-31-2008, 01:24 AM

I can find a few 18x10.5 but 18x11 seem to be custom made.

**SV1000s** · 01-31-2008, 04:29 PM

yeah I saw the CCW's but you can get custom made wheels for less...lol

**scott5** · 01-31-2008, 04:33 PM

if you interested, i know a kid that now makes custom wheels if interested.

Clark...my suggestion is ditch (sell) the roadracing tires and get a set of sticky Mickey's for the track.

I agree...
can you even fit an 11" wheel on your car? I honestly don't know, but i would think that's either too wide, or it would stick out so far past the fender that it'd look retarded

Honestly Clark You Should Have Did Sum Researhing Before Buying These 18 Inch Tires... I Have The 17x10.5 Inch Black Bullitt Wheels With Bfg Drag Radials On My Gt And They're An 1/4 Inch Away From The Tail Pipes... Good Luck Though On Finding Wheels

i have to agree...and agree with selling them.

18" slicks is like wiping before you poop....just doesnt make any sense.
