Okay Gents, I need a straight answer here.
I've been doing a lot of searching for a set of drag wheels for my 12' GT: Slicks and Skinnies, and every time I see an add posted up or someone talking about drag wheels in a thread there is ALWAYS a mention of sway bar relocation brackets, caliper grinding or brackets, special lug nuts, wheel spacer this and that, etc. I'm SO TIRED of reading about all of that. I just want a set of light-weight drag wheels I can bolt up and go with.
What sizes do I need to run for the wheels up front and back? I would prefer a 17" front skinny. For the rear I assume its best to go with a 15" wheel, but hopefully I don't have to mess with the brakes or suspension pieces. For the slicks in the rear I definitely want to go with a 26" tall tire. I'm an a6 with stock 3.15 gears. For the rear width, I don't know - should I stick with a 8" wide rim or should I get a 10"+ width?
So, which set of drags wheels will require NO modification to my car and it's brake/suspension components? At the most, i'll be okay with running a spacer if its a nice wheel design and I guess the correct lug nuts if I have to, but I want to avoid that too.
