Front Race Tires / Skinnies - How much did you chop off your ET?

[Boss281]

Ron fits his bogarts, tool box, two ice chests, jack and misc crap in his car to go to the track!! and he cant even put on in the spare well!!

Stuff that thing up and use those expensive paperweights!!!

LOL! Actually, I just bought 4 new tire totes, and put in a rear seat delete. So you're right, the tires will fit there, and tools/jack in the trunk, plus ice.

don- is that the exact lug nut I would need to get then? also, i know this might be a pain in the ass but it would help me out greatly, whats the link to the wheel studs you have? and do you have them front and rear? im trying to get things sorted out so that I am "safe" and my wheels dont fall off with the Jegs wheels on, and so it doesnt look like shit when i have my street wheels on. Only problem is that I am going to have to order 50 of them haha, and have 25 of them powdercoated black so they match my black street wheels. im anal like that.

O/P, if I where you id do something liek what i did, i went to a junk yard found some 15x7's from a older mustang cleaned them up painted them black and found some used MT et streets for the track put on my car and holy hell is there a huge differnce and quite a good bit lighter then my 18's and i only have about 150$ total in my rear rims and tires... now the rims dont look as good as welds or bogarts but I have a lot of other things i would like to spend the extra money on first.

I know HDMLNIUM's car dropped a solid 2 tenths with the front bogarts.

 

[chad05gt]

Keep in mind, most of the guys seeing only one tenth drop in et are in the low 12's at the very slowest... a one tenth drop when running under 12 seconds is WAY different than dropping a tenth on a low 13sec car.

11sec car, finding a SAFE mod that drops one tenth for 1000$, IS a great deal!

I'll tell you the next time I go to the track. I just got some skinnies for Christmas but haven't tried them out yet.

Replacing the radiator support with the BMR lightweight piece and running the skinnies was good for 2 tenths in the 1/8th mile yesterday. I made no other changes. I'm sure most of that was the skinnies.

Yeah, I haven't had a front swaybar on the car for about 3 months.

Those are Jegs Sport Lite wheels, 15 X 4, 1.75 BS, 3/8" spacer, and a little grinding on the calipers. I also had to use longer wheel studs.

The tires are MT ET Fronts, 26/4.5-15.

 

[SlvrS197]

I just did front weld prostars 15x3.5 and rear jeg stars with 26x11.5 ET streets. will post results this weekend when i hit the track.
