I am looking fo a new wheel and tire setup for my turbo prelude, aminly for the reason that the stockies i have on there now get NO traction, and I am debating on what size to run up front, because I want a 17 in the back, and I would like a 17 in front, but i would sacrifice the look to run a 15 up ffron with a beefy drag rasial, so i guess I have 3 questions so please let me know, and post if you have other opinions, thanks.

Also, how much better would my traction be by running the 15 over the 17?

 

Where is 16's? so u can have both.lol

 

16's are nice. different size rims dont look too great...

were u looking for slicks? or somelike like the BFG ka d or whatever its called.

if so, i'd say get 16's

 

I would get 16's, but the tire sizes offered in a drag radial are extremely limited, pretty much 15 or 17, and yeas it will be a BFG tire, bump for more input.

 

if ur hardcore drag..15 all the way..u could get 17's from VOLK still lighter..but ::che ching::..
15's look too small on lude..back to 16.lol

 

The wheels that I am going to get are the Centerline Storm wheels. The 17's weight like 11 or 12 lbs, so they are really light, I guess that the only thing I have a question about is that, what will the traction difference be between the 15s and 17's if I run the same drag radial, because if it isnt that much then i will deffinatley go for the 17's.

 

don't go with 2 different wheel/tire sizes. my friend had 16 in front and 17 in rear over winter, and his ABS module went out. although overall wheel diameters are close, the slight difference screwed up his ABS.
as for rim size, i'd go with 15. i have 17 and tire profile is so small i feel too many bumps on the road. especially if you live in big city, like seattle with lots of bumpy roads.
