What is the smallest size wheel I can go and fattest drag radial? I have a bunch of Audi wheels laying around and I know they use the same bolt pattern

Hulk

Clk rims 255/50/16 Hoosier

OR

18" Mickey Thompson ET streets

The clk should be better since they are much lighter and the Hoosier has more side wall for hooking

i have 255 50 16 MT drag radials on e class rims with a 10mm spacer and GL lug bolts...

vikingdiesel

Those base kinda ugly clk wheels?

Hulk

Yup, they weigh about 13 pounds

vikingdiesel

I plan to only buy 2 for the rear but I wonder if that tire size will fit with the brabus lowering module that i have

JoeJErnst

I've got 255/50/16 Hoosier DOT Drag Radials with 20mm spacers (and 50mm lugs). There is no rubbing with the car in factory lowered mode, but they are right on the verge.

vikingdiesel

Thanks for the last picture,exactly what I want, let me know if someone is selling a set of 2

vikingdiesel

Btw, do you launch these cars with only traction control off or in dyno mode?

I managed a 1.8 60 Foot time on stock tires. I launched in Dyno Mode, Trans set to sport, and car raised.

On my car traction control off only sort of turns it off. It seems these cars vary with how they handle that. But in mine even with it off it will still activate if its violent enough.

I don't bother with dyno mode. I used to race with T/C ON when I was on street tires, but the Hoosiers hook well enough that I leave it off after doing my burnout and just stomp on the gas at the last yellow light. Running 17psi in the tires got me a 1.788s 60' time. Next time I'm at the track I'll try running 15psi and see if I can cut some more time off the 60'.

Max.H

Wow, that's a strong 60 foot. What rpm are you launching at?

Hammer Down

While we are sorta on the topic does anyone make lightweight lug bolts?

vikingdiesel

Thanks, but trying to spend less, the 16" clk are prefect price and setup imo

cnterline

Idle lol,I just punched it

cnterline

They make titanium lug bolts $$$$

Hammer Down

I'm wondering for how much because if you put 5 lug bolts on a scale you will be surprised.

Max.H

Tikore makes titanium lug bolts. Same company as sp engineering.

Max.H

Try launching at 1200 rpm.

vikingdiesel

Do I have to run spacers if I go with clk wheels?

Hulk

Yes sir

vikingdiesel

What size spacers and what size lug nuts
