Title: Slicks on 17s?
Post by: ScuttleRX on June 02, 2004, 04:12:54 PM
Can you get slicks for 17\'s that will fit on a FD.

Thinking of using my old alloys for the drag strip if i can get some decent tyres for them

Better to get a set of cheap FD 16s - you get more side wall height to play with then. The only slicks you\'ll get on a 17 which will be effective would be track tyres I imagine.

Cheers, I thought 17\'s would be a bit big for slicks after seeing wheels people were using on monday, i\'ll keep them ones for track days then, and get a diddy set for the strip :)
