skinnies and 16 inch rims
guys , what is the minimum diameter rim i can use on my c63 for drag events and what weight to expect ?guys are using 16 inch rims , do you have to do mods to get it to fit or not?
Also , Can i use spare rim as skinnies for drag tyres if i put on another set of tyre on those rims since the max speed you can do with the spare tyre is 60km/hr.
these may be dumb questions m but i am new to the drag scene so i am learning all the time .
thanks

my goal is to get better times on the drags . I see the guys using skinnies upfront and some going down to 16 inch rims with drag radials at the rear . i believe they give you better times due to reduced weights. Does it really cut time off your Ets .

Thanks , i do not want to change calipers etc . Currents mods are exhaust and tune , will do the pulleys and heat space . dont intend too much else thus trying to maximise setup for drag strip with these mods by weigh reduction and traction . What would be the best set up on rims and tyres for the rear and front for drag setup to achieve some competitive times without modifying much .
thanks again

You cannot use the spare wheel as skinnies even with different tires. They are not designed for the stress of racing much less driving. Put an LSD in it if you want to get all the power to the track.
