The true racing slicks get obscenely expensive in those sizes as can be the cost of big wheels. Guess it will depend on if I can get the weight down or not. Decisions, decisions.
I am going with 18" x 12" rears with a 345-35-18 Hoosier A6 and 17" x 12" fronts with 335-35-17 Hoosier A6. The car will be able to run 16" x 12" with Goodyears if needed. Tire technology has come so far the past few years. The A6 is just as fast or faster than the Goodyears. Both tire packages are stupid expensive.
