good luck with the r888

That was an important part of info you neglected to tell. Most of us were assuming 18" wheels.... Most of what I said may not apply bc I only know about things that work with 18" wheels.

why dont you guys take some clues from someone who has been doing it for some time... and it works period.
for 18 rims BF goodrich drag radials... 295/35/18s ( RWD a must for PASM not to freak out)
for 17s for those more ambitious... MT 275/40/17s...
done deal... proven over and over...
why are you guys still experimenting?????

Mark i trust every word u say .. but i like to keep my 19" wheel for normal use and if BF goodrich drag radials has 19" ill go for it .. i will get smaller wheels for drag racing or street racing

where can i find the video of ur tires spinning on 4th gear at low boost ?

USCTrojanMan29 is infamous around these parts

I've heard very good things from the BMW track guys about the Nitto NT01s. That being said, I'll be picking up them up to slap on my stockers for next year's track season.
