i know how this is a road race biased board but there is times when i do go out and run my car down the 1/4. just wondeing if anyone knows of a 5 lug drag rim that slicks can be put on

 

i think the crv steel wheels should work

 

Sorry this doesn't really answer your question.

Do drag slicks help times by giving more traction on the launch, or do they help time because of the reduced rolling resistance over normal street tires?

 

They help off the line traction. Rule of thumb is that if you knock .1 sec of 60 foot you'll knock .2sec of your 1/4 mile ET.

Try using some 22X8X15 Mickey Thompsons

Probably a little bit of both. Just overall sticky tires equaling better traction, and if you're using a 555R, the lower profile will add to your FD ratio

dc2r...most people use stock ITR rims because there really aren't any drag wheels out there, unless you wanna spend the money on some koseis or some other aftermarket wheel. I actually have 2 already mounted on drag radials for sale if you're interetsed. CHeck the link below

 

any bullshit light weight 5 lugs will work . i got my mickey thomsons on konig tequillas for now .
this year i think im gonna swap em over to another 2 slipstreams . they are just a **** hair lighter.

 

I have some 300z 15 inch wheels that fit an ITR. They are nice and wide too. $75 plus shipping.

 

that's a GOOD deal nfn15037 go for those dude

 

It sounds like you want slicks, but if your looking for a drag tire for the occassional outing to the strip I have been very happy with the new BFG Drag T/A I run them all of the time, except when the car is on a road course. I have run 1.9 60ft on a 205/40/17 at 15 psi. Air them up and drive the car home. NOTE: my car is not a daily driver so I have never driven on them in a down pour or in snow.

M/T slicks
for wheels if you want to spend the $$$ bogards on 14 , you need longer studs do'h .

 

i have a set of 15x7 kosei's with m/t 22x8-15 slicks for sale. 9 passes total.

email me if you are interested. thanks.

 

how much? email me if you havent sold them !

 

sorry. i am currently waiting for a check. if the seller flakes, which i doubt, i will email you. thanks.

 

the bogarts are nice but expensive.
i got my wheels for lie 160 for the set brand new. and 14's wont fit the r. got to convert the front susp to put em on . the brakes are too big in the front.

 

you could fit 14 with a spacer built on the front? at least that i was told from monocoque wheels which they been around for lik 65 years and there the same design as bogards and also was told that the guy from bogards came out.
also does any one have the site for bogards wheels
and the samething is done on gsr to run 13's

i would love to see 14's on an r. . . on stock front susp.
my 15's barely fit . the wheel is almsot on the damn brakes.
post pics when you get em , cuz i dont see it working easily.

 

I would like to see this also. If this is possible, I'm doing it.

 

14s WILL NOT FIT.

IF anyone is still interested I have a set of MT 22x8x15 slicks mounted on
legend wheels for sale.

 

I just ran my 22/8/15's on one pair of the stock rims ...... since I had aftermarkets for daily driven.

The stock wheels are pretty decent as far as weight goes, and they worked fine with slicks. If you don't have aftermarket wheels for daily driving, just spend a couple bucks on some cheapy steelies or a cheap set of alloy wheels. It's not like you are going to blast around corners on them ....

 

thanks for the link!
well i call bogards and they do make it in 14 with a spacer for clearence
but im going to make sure by calling kg engineering in huntinton beac to make sure and , to what is available.
if not well i think some rotas sliptream would be good in15's there light and cheap and slap on some M/T slick are ready to go!

 

i just got a set of nitto 555R and plan on tring these out at the track this weekend. to all the people who had experiment with these what do you guys think about it? about how much psi should i put in them for best result? i know every car will response different but just what to get an idea of what psi i should use and try.
just want to know whats to low and whats to high, and about how high were you able to rev to when using these wheels?
