toyo 888s on 16s anybody

[nova_t]

hi all now i used to run toyo 888s on my nova but then i had 15 inch rims now ive got 16 inch speedlines would it still be possible to run 888s without my arches ripping into them

[blue_peg_16v]

id get a set of 15s for track use with 888 and just fit good quality tyres to the speedlines for everyday use

[Nobby]

my mate runs them you can get them cheap of lotus elises, im running 14s this year

[nova_t]

changing to 15s for the track doesnt that mean having the camber and tracking done each time i go from my 16s to 15s

[Nobby]

in an ideal world id say yes but ......

[nova_t]

thought u was running 13s already nobby lol n what can i get of lotus elises?

[nova_t]

and wanting to run the best time up the strip id want camber and tracking kock on to get the traction as much as possible

[Nobby]

those size tyres na i was running 15s lol

[Nobby]

are you going to shakeys 24/25th april vauxhall show?

[nova_t]

nai lol in your v6 nova i seen ya running 13.8 when i was there lol and once my nova back on the road if i had a drive up to ya would u fancy fitting some rev counter clocks into my nova as im not to clued up on how to get the rev counter working

[nova_t]

yh should be u going think i might just go for the day though

should be just plug and play mate but you will need the lime green wire in the bay connected to the lime green wire on the 3 plugs by the ecu

ive never adjusted mine i run 17s on the saloon usualy and throw a pair of 15s on the front for the strip, if its quarter times only your after id only stick the 888 on the front and leave rock hard budgets rear to reduce rear grip and drag, i leave the 17s on the rear to help a little with the squatting, but you realy want as narrow and as least grip as possible on the none driven wheels, just look at the fronts on a drag car

[nova_t]

sweet will ave a go at the clocks and will try 2 15s on the front once i bought the tyres thanks

[BRoadGhost]

Why fcuk around? Put R888's on a set of 17's :)

[nova_t]

im only running 16s and thats the whole point of me starting this thread was to ask if i put 888s onto my speedlines will my arches rip them to shreds

[blue_peg_16v]

becaust smaller diamiter gives lover gearing and so faster acceleration

[BRoadGhost]

Yeah and less stability.

TBH Mechanical grip is one of the most important things if you're pursuing outright performance.

If you want to be ahead of the rest you make them fit.

can u explain more about what u mean by mechanical grip

[BRoadGhost]

If you want to go round the same corner (lets say in the dry) on a 195 width cut slick, it has a greater performance potential than a 185 equivalent.

ok i see now but my problem is ive got 16 inch wheels on a nova and just want to know if i put 888s on 16 inch wheels on my nova will it catch if so will my camber and tracking be ok if i use 15 inch wheels to run the quarter mile
