What are you supercharged guys running on track pack wheels for tires? Just installed a Paxton and I can't hit 4th on the highway without going sideways and scarring the shit out of the self. ( still on stock pirellis)
Tires on track pack wheels for high horsepower
- Thread starter deepimpact14
- Start date
Hmm 255 is plenty of tire for a supercharged coyote so it can't be the tires.. try some lca relocation brackets
I already have white line relocation brackets
Hahahaha. ^this guy. Bro im spinning on 305 nt555r's on the street with my paxton.
LOL @ 255's
OP - not sure how much power you're making, but I'm in the same situation with my Procharged Boss. The stock 285 Pirelli's just give up at 5k rpm in 1st - 3rd, and a downshift to 4th on the highway will wake everyone up.
In for answers .....

You guys must be making some serious power with your Paxton setups. I have 305 nt555r's and I can put my foot to the floor in first and I don't spin at all.
I spin the shit out of my 275/40/19 MPSS tires with a 440 RWHP 5.0 in summer. In 60-70 degree weather even worse and more so in colder temps.
Wider tires = more tread contact to the ground and more traction. Also depends on the tire. You could have a really wide all season which won't have nearly as much grip as a comparable sized summer specific tire.
Suspension is another side the coin for traction.

Was as kinda hoping to stay on track pack wheels, I wish they would make a drag radial that would fit
The key here is ON TRACK PACK WHEELS lol 19x9
You can always get these painted to match. http://www.americanmuscle.com/charcoal-trackpack-19x10-0514.html
That would be a good alternative to buying a whole new set of wheels.

I was hoping to do the same, but I've come to the same conclusion about needing wider wheels to fit larger / better tires after A LOT of research.
Not really. 550 hp at the tires, but factor in 3.73 gears (same as the Track Pack) and the MT-82 with 285/35/19 Pirelli Zero's. I max out at 7.5 lbs of boost (Procharger P1SC) and have to shift around 5 lbs due to the lack of traction. I can spin all the way through third gear if I wind out 2nd to 7,000 rpms and 7 lbs. I've also put the car sideways on the highway from a 6th - 4th downshift at 80 mph.

That's what I did and it was scary!
fwiw: mpss 285.40.19 103y have a 11.2 tread width, wider then many 295's; TR recommends 9.5 wheels though, not sure if they would be ok on 9". bfg comp 2 275.40.19 have a tread width of 10.8; TR recommends a 9" wheel. expect at least a month and 250 per for widening wheels, making either am or oe replicas a nice option plus painting (hundred per). maybe change your gearing, i went from 3.73 to 3.31 and it helped greatly. can still easily break loose but not by accident like when i had the 3.73's.
Anyone have experience with the nitto nt05 tire? ( not the nitto nt05r) it might be a fit for what I'm looking for
Were still spinning on 305s here.
305/35R19 drag radials on widened or replica track pack wheels looks like the best option.
