Track wheel question?????

Has anyone ever run smaller diameter tires on the rears?

I'm thinking of getting a set of CCW Classic 16"s with Mickey Thompson 255/16 rubber for the drag. Any opinions on the performance on the track with these changes?

The CCWs are hardcore. If you really plan to 1/4 mile it lots, then surely go for it. 18 isn't a bad size, but the stockers are heavy, too. The CCWs are smaller, wider, and lighter.


DOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEAT!!!!!!!!

If I'm not mistaken...Derek FSU was running 16 inch CCW's with slicks also? I'm sure SOMEONE on here knows...
