Rota Slipstream comes in a 16x8 with a 48 offset. I guess you would have to use spacers to use them though.

They should be about $125 per wheel brand new.

 

[driver311]

the wheels i was using were rota grids with a 40 offset.

Any plans for an upgraded clutch? Something is going to slip/burn up if the tires wont.

 

[sierra248]

U think these would work driver, there 8.5" wide though?

Why when rotas are way lighter and similar in price.

 

[redspeed]

Hell yeah driver! This is gona be interesting. (headbang)

 

[zpeedfreak]

i might try with BF T/A Drag radials first.. since I dont have that much power to use slicks im going to use them to some fun

what about 16 inch fd wheels? 13lbs like the oens i got, later if i plan on using slicks ill prolly buy a set of 2 to have slicks mounted on them

 

[driver311]

they would work probably.

 

[bigdawg181]

driver311 dude can you tell me what size your tenzos are and the offset also the place you got them from
thanks alot
p.s. your car is badasssssssssss

 

[driver311]

Im not sure exactly on offset. Maybe 40 and the wheels are 18x8

 

[clos561]

can u psot pics of them mounted?

 

[SpdFreak]

Since the tire driver311 posted is DOT approved, I figured I would post some alternatives that have a longer lasting tread wear for those that want some street use.


Mickey Thompson ET streets
(This is the closest size to the ones on drivers car, although I'm not sure if 15" wheels fit over our brake assembly. 235/60/15)

And

 

[sierra248]

I dont think 15's will cover our brakes. What we need to find is a 16" or 17" from some stock car that uses that size and find some used rims and then some nice drag rad's.

MT ET Streets arent very sticky... M&H and Hoosier make some gummy ass DOT tires.

Do they make them in the equivalent of the size driver tested? (I think the equivalent is 235/60 16".)
