slicks help!

hey guys iwas given what i thought to be 28/9/15 " slicks i mounted them on some 10 holes and these things are huge! i think there 30's it doesnt say on them how big they are, i mounted them with 12.5 psi and they rub my ground effects i was wondering how low i can go with psi, and i have lake wood lower control arms and i can set it one step higher do u think this will help or should i just not bother going to the track!...thanks


and i know Run on sentence haha

12 and a half pounds of air is as low as I would go. You should be good with 15-16 psi.

ahh i have no damn luck....slicks wont work there 28's but there jsut to damn big.... i need 26's i have some 28/9/14's but i dont have a rim to put them on or know what rim i could use....i give up ill go with brand new this winter i guess!

i run 26x10.50x15 et streets on stock turbines and they are perfect at the track

With a GT U will have a hard time with anything bigger than a 26.... Unless u want the 4x4 look

i have 28X11.50X15 on 8inch wide weld on mine and they rub on the body kit on burnouts. if i put the on a 10 inch wide wheel they should fit a little better. and the honestly dont look that bad on the car

the wheels i got dont look to bad but they rub without doing a burnout so im not going to chance ripping my ground effects off, everyone tells me i cant put a 10" wide slick on my msutang because it'll be to wide and wont fit on a 7" rim any truth to this?

IMO honestly i would run a 10" or in my case a 11" wide slick on at least a 8" or 10" wheel. thats just me. if you got a wider wheel for those slicks, like a 10" wheel, you shouldnt have any issues

i found a set of 8" wide cheater slicks im going to run, not as good as a slick but better then street tires!

try it out and see how the car does.

ill eventually go to a drag radial for the street and straight slick for the track instead of the et streets

i would say im still going to spin and i wont get the right times out of my car, but it'll help compared to last year!

I would say spend the money on the right tire? You maybe end up going through 2 or 3 used sets, all the wrong size, when you could just purchase a new set, in the exact perfect size for your combo the first time.

yea well i would do that, IF i had money, or a job im training for my high pressure pipe ticket, and where i live theres not much to pick from for jobs and i wouldnt be able to put enough time in welding...gotta take what i can get both used sets i had were free so im not really complaining

You are living in the wrong end of Canada...You should move out to Alberta if you want to get your pressure ticket

lol i know where i got to go man, im going for union work, and the union is already going to test me, and then i need to get my alberta B course, so i can go to alberta and work, non union is good and all but u dont get a pention from it like u do in the union, i dont plan on doing high pressure welding here because theres none to be done.
