Default Drag tyres..... soooo bloody confused

where do i start, ive just built my ek4 and im looking into buying some slicks for her (im in the uk) the car is a tad over 550bhp and im hoping to hit high tens, after all the money i have spent im looking to get drag slicks that will fit my 195-45-16 rotas as i dont have enough money to buy any more, is this possible or would i have to buy different alloys? everything i look at talks about inches, as in 24.5 inch slick etc etc, i dont understand this so any help would be much appreciated. im looking to get the biggest slick (if i can) on my wheels, im running coilovers so no worry about them not fitting as i can just raise the front end. cheers Dan

24.5x8x13

24.5 is the outside diameter of the tire.

8 is the width of the slick

13 is the diameter of wheel the slick is designed for.


all these numbers are in inches.


you will not find many options in a 16 for slicks. i would find a set of 15in wheels you can fit on your car, and go from there.
