what size is most peepz running with 25-26 slicks?

 

Hello ALL IMPORT,

3.6/24-15 & 4.5/26-15 and our skinnies are Dot approved.

Best regards,

whats the weight of the 2 tires.

ill be running 26x10 tire

was thinking 22 in the rear for weight reasons. but i think it might be 2 small with a big tire up front & not look good. kinda want a tucked look in the rear.

probably about 10-12lbs diff from 26 to a 22 tires.

 

its a good idea to keep it close to the diameter to the front tire.. i really dont think there is that huge of a weight difference between a 22" and 24" or 26" skinny

 

MT tires claim 5lbs per tire diff 22-26

 

3.5/22-15 = 10.50 lbs

3.6/24-15 = 11.00 lbs

4.5/26-15 = 11.55 lbs

SlicksMH

 

use this one:

3.6/24-15 = 11.00 lbs


26s look dumb

 

 

used the 22x15 m and h with front 24.5's and now 24x15 n amdn h's with front 24.5's. no issues either way. i wanted the car to keep the weight on the front, and seemed to sit a little low inthe back with the 22's.

 

What I usually tell people when theyre deciding on a size is to consider:

1. Tire size of your slick
2. Ride Height of Front and Rear
3. Type of car it is.

You would usually match up the front and rear to as close of a height as possible. You're not going to use a 25" slick and a 22" rear skinny in most cases. The front will be raised too much. and you have to consider stability of the rear end with a smaller tire.

Type of car in my opinion matters too. If you have a CRX and youre running 22x8s on the front, it'll still look decent with a 22" skinny on the rear. But on an Integra, which is a bigger body, the 22s tend to look small and doesnt fill up the wheel well as good. So its not a bad idea to just fit a 24" skinny to follow the complete appearance of the car.

In my opinion 90% of our cars are going to use a 24" skinny. It goes well with 23", 24.5", 25", and even 26" slicks with the proper ride height.

When you use a 26" skinny, you have to consider several things.
1. Backspace of the wheel you are using. 26s will most likely be right along the fender and not tuck the rear fender. With this in mind, make sure you have the proper ride height and spring rate so that the tire wont rub on the fender during shifts as the weight of the car transfers to the rear.
2. Stance of the car will be higher than how most out there looks, so you have to consider how that will affect the front part of the car. It'll obviously dip the car forward so the only way it'll balance out is if you have a tall tire to match it with.

 

so ill probably go with the 24rear tires. MH shinnies are 3.6 wide?
think MT are 4+ witch means more contact more drag. so will be getting the mh for the rear then if so.

WILL HALLA got your $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$, lol

gotta be quick sh*ts getting locked quick around here, this place is going to be a ghost town soon, lol

 

Tim, check your PM.. Just sent you link to the anodized centers. I'll call you in a sec after I catch up with all these calls. LOL

 

ive always ran the 24's.. i hate seeing cars with 26's in the back

 

cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I believe a few of the Pro Fwd cars cars used 22s . .

I have and will always use 22s in the rear. THey just look better imo

 

i always wonder about skinnies...do you have to run them?is the car more stable than with an oem rear set up...i see alot of street/track cars using skinnies when its easier to just change the front slicks at the track than all 4..unless its on a full race car i dont see the point..

 

x2 urghh

 

I run 22"MH in the rear and Toyo 26" in the front. My car sits lower than most though:

 

looks sick

 

I did a comparison awhile back, but I didnt have a 22" tall to take pictures with at the time.

 

26 way to big. might go with 22 for weight savings. ill make it work

 

I believe I run the MT 25x4x15, Was thinking about going to the 24's

 

i run toyo 25" skinnies

 

x2!

 

I run the 24x3.6s. 26s look way to big for skinnies on fwds! I would do 24s for sure!
