Are you guys with superchargers/turbos running wider tires to accommodate for the extra power?

What are you running? What is your opinion of the handling afterwards? Are you running wider for drag racing, or just to hold the power down?

I'm getting ready to order new rims and supercharging this spring, so I'm trying to get a better feel for what works.

Thanks!

 

i run a lm 9.5" rim with a 275-35-18 toyo ra1 on the rear. holds my power typically even in first gear

400+ prolly needs either boost by gear and/or drag radials are the best if switch setups and up the power, i will still run my tires above and just do boost by gear.

 

there was already a thread talking about this in this section with the title "traction" started by "joeyballs"

 

I am on 17x9 and 255 tires in the rear. Good enough for the streets.

 

Running and very much like the traction: 275/40-17 Toyo RA-1s on 9 inch Volks in the rear and 235/45/17 RA-1s on 7.5 inch Volks in the front.

 

I run iForged Aero 3 piece rims, 18"x10" rear and 18"x8" front. The rears now have 275/40 Bridgestone KDW DR's that stick very well at 18-20 psi tire pressure. I plan on sending my rear rims back to iForged to have the inner hoop changed to one that will add another 1" width to make them 11" wide so I can put 305/40 DR's on.

 

18x10" CCW's w/ 295/30/18 Yoko Advan AD08's in the rear and 265/35/18 fronts.

 

I want to see pics of all you guys damned 12 inch wide tires lol. Ill have a set of Mickey Thompson ET streets on ap1s for street wars and a wide slick on the ap2s for track time. ap1s = 7.5" ap2s = 8.5"

 

Not the best pic but this is my iForged 3 pc 18's with the KDW 275/40's and before the lowering sport springs were put on.
