Default Slick/Rim Combo Help

Im looking for a wheel/slick combo for the s2000. Im not sure what size rim and slick I should go with for a s2000 making lets say 800whp. Can Red Star, CFT, Jotech, or Inline Pro comment on this by any chance?

Check the racing and competition forum... or the wheel / tire forum.

I had this same issue that I am currently trying to deal with. The best that I have figured out is the use of the rota slipstream in a 15"x 8 wheel with a +40 offset and the mickey thompson 26"/10"/15" slicks. This may not be enough tire for you though.

I have not purchased it yet lol. It is the last thing I will be purchasing for my build and depending on the clearance I may do ASM overfenders. From my calculations it should be very close to the fenders. I am running 8 inch wheels in the back with +45 offset with a 255 tire which is approximately 10 inches wide. The 10 inch slicks from MT bludge out to 11.5 but curve back in to the 9.8 inch contact patch. This will be as big as I can go using those rims at +40 offset.

Well what about inline pro ? They are running a slick setup. I have no problem doing over fenders.

Hoosier also makes a 26.0/9.0/15 which should clear the fenders on those rims, but I have not tried it to confirm. I would also like to hear from inline or anyone with experience in this regard.

i talked to inline about this a while ago. they couldnt give me the specs on them for some reason. but they did say they were custom made. you should call up bogart or weld and see what they can do for you.

I don't understand why they won't tell us, I've Asked them multiple times to. Just trying to get info again.
