Rims and wheels?
After 185mm pulley kit, i am getting a lot of spin (stock size, conti sc2)
what is the best type of tire and size for a 1/4 mile race?
Confused between going to 18in (265/35/18) or stay on 17in but going to 255/40/17.
what is the best tire for spin issues??
Thanks.

Dedicated drag radials (e.g. Mickey Thompson E/T Street Radials) size 255/50 R-16, on a 16" rear wheel, is your best bet for a 1/4 mile race.
If you're not ready or willing for a dedicated drag setup, second best IMHO would be a very sticky tire (Bridgestone RE-11, Dunlop Direzza Star Spec Z1, Toyo R1R or R888, etc.) in your OEM fitment.

white and whiter
T1R is decent to do every day jobs.
the best off the line traction I've experienced was the GS-D3 Eagle F1, but they're discontinued. The PS2 second.
