i was thinkin for awhile bc ccw can make wheels in 18 and up to 16 in wide so i was jus curious who the hell makes a tire that fits that and where can u buy one and how much does it cost
gracias people

racepar1

They cost a a bajillion dollars each and they're made out of gold with diamond encrusted lettering on the side.

Looks like you can use a so called "truewidebody" for that. Whatever that means.

RU using a SR to turn those? because those rim aren't wide enough. Maybe a 18X100.lol

thats retarded. with a 0 offset like half the rim would be in the trunk and half outside of the car. You would need like a triple stack widebody with a fender flare on top.

ur sn is amazing by the way

doublestitch180

So what are you using? Just out of uhh......curiosity.

GunmetalSR

an ls7 but thats still not why i even asked
i wanted to buy some ccw's and noticed that they can make them as wide as 16 inches and whatever offset u want so that why i was curious to know if they even make a tire for it...not sayin im buyin 18x16's i was jus curious and dude sorry for bein a dick but everyone flamed me n i didnt get one seerious answer

widebodyseven

Email CCW and ask

rps13sr

maybe you can email who ever drives grave digger now and ask him

Gnnr

A serious answer...ugh....

Goodyear Race Tires || Eagle® Dragway Special®

They can custom make anything. They have these two sizes so I'm sure they can make the dragways in 18 or make the Radials in 16.

Goodyear Eagle Dragway 33.5x17-16
Eagle Radial Sports Car 28.5x14.5-18

18s in that width are not going to be made, they do have them in 14, 15, 16, and 17. No 18. Tires using those widths are also offered in half sized like 17.5, 18.5, 19.5, 20.5 etc for commercial applications by Michelin. Again, no 18. So closest is 17.5 or 18.5 that is offered without custom ordering. The width here is not the problem.

/end stupid thread

Damn son you gots lots of monies to throw around if you're buying a $15,000 motor (That doesn't come with a harness or PDM no less).... for an s-chassis, lol

But in a serious note. I have wondered the the same thing.
CCW actually makes all their rims up to 16'' in width I believe.

racepar1

How fucking stupid are people here???

16" is the width of the rim.

Tire section width is measured in millimeters.

Convert 16" to millimeters then you have the section width tire that you are looking for.

You are not going to find anything though so you are going to have to find the "best" fit.

You'll likely still not find anything close enough in street tires though and will have to use non-DOT race slicks.



I could answer this question for myself using nothing but the 1010 tires tire size calculator and spending 10 mins on tire rack and DTD's websites...

FUCK why is everyone,except for a cool few, bein dicks i mean it was a simple question and u either know it or dont and if u dont then shut up but i do thank u anyways for ur input and its much appreciated

I'm not a mathematician, but this makes the OP... 18 or 19 now? Dropping an LS7 into an s-chassis...

When did Nick Hogan even get into s-chassis???

GunmetalSR

correct sir im 18 turnin 19 in july but this is a project ive been workin on for over a year with my dad but beings u brought up my age i guess ima hav to act my age and get a bomex body kit with a million pointless stickers...but yea in all honesty i was a lil jdm fan boy and all about the sr when i first joined then all about ka-t then started thinkin go big or go home and ended up starting this build with my dad

racepar1

If you know what you are looking for then why don't you go look for your damned self instead of asking others to hand you your answer on a silver platter??? Wasting others time is highly frowned upon here, get used to the results if you wish to continue posting dumbass lazy shit...

The kind of tires without tread and that must be returned to the manufacturer after use.
