28x10-17 Hoosier slicks


Recommended Posts

Car would have to be pretty high ride height. Never seen anyone run them, but I think you might be pushing it. On a stock R33 GTR body the normal fitment for drag radials or slicks is 26 X 11.5 on a stock R33'GTR R17, which is 275/40R17 in the real world normal tyre speak. You would be better off with these as they are wider, and readily available from MT.

I have MT 275/40-17 today. Just want real slicks to not put to much strain on the drivetrain. Soft side walls. Any other slicks you can recomend?

If you want 17 inch ply slicks the Hoosiers are probably your only choice. Most running slicks go down to 15 or 16 inch wheel to get more sidewall - 17 inch drag slick seems a bit pointless for the sidewall profile.

I think you may have to just try them to find out for everyone ? Anything can be "made" to fit if you're dead set on using them.

    • Yeah I think overall I’m running the expected power I should be running for now and I’ll just enjoy it for the time being until I get some other parts. Thanks for the advice mate I appreciate it!
    • That's fair enough.  Might be time to just enjoy what you have until you sort the ecu/flex sensor situation. You can pretty much guarantee that you are knock limited and e85 is going to be the solution to more power. 
    • He didn’t provide that info to me but I think I’m on standard timing. And no we don’t have e85 on the petrol stations here but it’s widely available here from shops. I’m just planning on getting a better ecu before switching to e85
    • Seems bang on to me , g30-900 will make 900 crank on e85(on paper). Deduct ~25% for 98 and you are at 675 crank. Run that to the wheels and fact you are only running 26psi you end up about your number.  People forget how magic E85 is now that just about everyone is running it.   "Back in the day" you had to be north of 30psi on a 850+hp turbo to get 600 at the wheels on 98.   
    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
