Lensos are pretty reasonably priced too right?

Our Exospeed/Lenso VPD wheels can use stock studs. The lug design is an acorn style so you can use regular lug nuts.

Even though its not necessary to use extended wheel studs to make it work, track rules usually require extended wheel studs on any car using slicks.

Any other questions, feel free to PM or contact us.

As far as biggest slick, that shouldnt be the question you should be asking. Slick size all depends on your setup. HP level, gearing, etc.
Then go from there.

these are 24.5x9x13 on our VPD wheels

You should be fine with a 23x8x13 MH slick.

I have the exact same slick/rim setup, and was wondering if you run a spacer at all? I'm a little worried about the slicks being too wide.

Its not our car. Its one of the SFWD racers here in SoCal, TB Motorworks in San Diego, CA. I dont know if he runs a spacer or not. We've sold that setup at least a hundred times and i'm sure there are another couple hundred that have ran that setup as well.
In my opinion, I would get a spacer. The 24.5x9x13 M/T is pretty wide and may rub the inside fender if turned too much. A 1/4" spacer wouldnt hurt.

Thanks for the fast response. Also, i'm only making 360whp and went 11.60 with a gsr tranny and 23x8x13 slicks. I'm hoping to make 400+ this year, are these slicks overkill or should i stick with 23x8x13?

It looks like you cut your fender's, was this done just as a pre-caution, or did you have rubbing issue's?

Not cut thats from slicks hitting during hard turning.

Damn I'm very nervous to run these 24.5x9x13 MT on my car. Maybe I'll just stick with the 23x8x13 MH and rev to 9k lol

I wouldnt go 24.5 at mid 300s. You have to consider that your PEAK HP maybe at 360 but most of your useable HP is most likely in the low 300s. 24.5 will be overkill at that hp.
