rota slipstreams
ok I Bought a pair of rota slipstream 15x8 and put sum 225 45 bridgestone drag radials on them. These hook beautifully but since its starting to get warmer out I find myself changing tires like everyother day to race so I want to buy Another Pair for the rear. I see that alot of ppl who own a set of rotas generally go with a smaller front wheel and an Inc bigger on the rear so wut do u guys think should I stay 15s all around or up it an Inc in the back? And does anyone have any pics so I can see. Thanks.

Re: rota slipstreams (8thSI)
smaller infront because its FWD, less mass if you have a light/smaller rim. Easier to create rotational acceleration... physics stuff.
Larger in back because it is stock sized or their aftermarket rims. They are just along for the ride, may improve stability down the track as the backs have smaller side wall and are not super sticky like the drag radials.

I am pretty sure they don't... i thought I had heard that some 16's didnt fit too

It's all about the offset. You can run 15's with the right offset, not that you'd want too.

Staten islander?..... Race? Does not compute.
