Default do u think 6 inch slicks are wide enough

Foudn some in my area, but dont know if they are wide enough for my setup. I'm running an h22 with i/h/e ACT clutch, flywheel. The car has been lightened slightly like no power sterrring or AC or anythin like that...battery relocated to the back. I plan on spraying a 50 shot as well. Will these slicks be enough???

thanks for the referral.

I'm assuming the 6" slicks are something like a 20x6x14?

if so thats too small. the width is too small also with the amt of torque you have with that motor. It might work somewhat but it wont be the best to use.

you should be looking at least a 22x8x13
that will hold with your setup.

If they wouldnt do anything before, why would a cheaper price make then work?

Yes, better then stock tires...will you still have traction problems?? yes...
