You should invest in some 10.5 inch rear wheels and some 315 Drag Radials...then you will get some traction and won't have to play catch up. Having the stock 8 inch wide wheels/narrow tires is like launching on skinnies with a KB.
Bro... point me to some wheels and tires. Right now with these street tires (and they are great on the "twisties") I have spacers to make it look good. I'm thinking H&R Sports so I don't completely go back to stock height but not quite this low. I need a decent weight transfer. (for the engineers, I need a better vertical vector.)
My pony is a weekend car so I want to be able to put the stance at H&R Sport (a little higher but not so high as stock) and then compensate with control arms and a set of slicks for the track. I like my "corner carving" right now but I like 1/4 mile more.
What style of wheel are you into? Would you want to stay with 17 inch wheels or go up to an 18 inch? Adding a wider aftermarket wheel/tire combo will help you in the twisties and at the track with traction. Check out www.americanmuscle.com for a decent selection of wheels that fit our cars.
I would go with a 9 inch front wheel with a 255 tire and go with a 10 or 10.5 inch rear with a 315 rear tire preferably a Drag Radial since its a weekend/nice weather cruiser.
Let me know what style you are into and then we will get you on the road to traction and improved looks.
