Kaan W Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've been bumping the ad on driftworks anyway so new wheels may come sooner Thanks mate, although if they did sell I would have to make my mind up quick lol. I may leave it until next year now or at least once the cars running as custom wheels take a while to manufacture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 They are monsters, should give amazing traction, looking at the pictures though, I think you are going to have rubbing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 They are monsters, should give amazing traction, looking at the pictures though, I think you are going to have rubbing issues. I think they probably will rub mate but regardless of how soft or hard the suspension they should be a whole lot better than the Yokohama's. I need a 10mm spacer really but they will require longer wheel studs I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yes, longer studs for 10mm slip on spacers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yes, longer studs for 10mm slip on spacers That's great thanks! Also when I had the mickeys fitted they didn't balance them, apparently drag radials don't need balancing is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've always balanced mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 It was Watlin's that done mine but they said they wouldn't fit on the machine. I should get them balanced to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I would balance them. Otherwise, you may loose the full benefit of awesome traction if the tire runs like an egg. Edited August 30, 2014 by Luxluc (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 That's what I thought, being a tire specialist I would have thought they could do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Love the widebody look. Pity it was not practicle for mine. I've probably missed it, but what suspension you gone for? That it going to be a major factor for traction. Too stiff and you're going to loose traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up nitron suspension, quality priece of kit and they can custom make to your spec, you get what you pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traction has always been an issue with this car, there is only about 60mm of movement before the rear wheels scrub unless I lift it up even further. I'll see how I get on with those 345/35s and maybe try some 315/30s next and have more suspension travel. It's all a matter of trial and error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
