Smaller/Lighter wheels?

They were $199 each at Tire Rack. Click here for details. Not too bad at all. I also paid some small amount for Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors (TPMS). I think it was $45 per wheel.


Tires were 235/60-18. Outside circumference was nearly identical to stock.

I have my drag radials mounted on the Voxx wheel below. They don't look like stock though. Does anyone know if that Voxx wheel will clear the front caliper off hand? I really don't want to have to pull a front tire and try it, but I will if it comes down to it. I'm think I might put together a road course wheel/tire combo on 18s if these Voxx wheels clear the front too.

I had a pair of those with DRs on them for my SRT4 and they worked well. They are a really good price and great quality too. What size rim/tire do you have? How much have your short times improved?

Dave how wide were those wheels? (Borbet)
for the strip nitto makes a nice 305/45/18 drag radial, which is 28.8" tall, virtually same as stock, but a 10" wide rim is recommended.

The Borbet wheels are only 8.5" wide.

The Voxx wheels are 18x9's with Nitto NT55Rs in 305/45/R18.

I honestly don't how much my short times have improved yet. I bought them shortly before the Spring Festival and was working on other mods at that time so I didn't get to run them in March, then I got sick this past Friday and there isn't another track day locally until May. Looks like I may have to take a trip to California Speeway later this month.
