I can get an awesome deal on a set of 22.00/8.0-13, and I was if anybody had a experience with them? Also does anyone have any cheap wheel suggestion to go with them? I really cant pass this deal up(only 5 passes on em for 100) and have been looking for slicks. :wink:

under 400 hp, go for it.

diamond racing is about as cheap as you can get in a 13x8 wheel.

more than 400 hp and with a f5m33 trans, go with bigger tires, like a 24x8x15

Either volvo or saab can't recall but yes. Just need spacers or drill out where rotor bolts are bc rim is not resested

Yea Im running a f5m33 and im pretty sure the car puts down close to 400 the way it sits, as for that I am worried this going shortin my gear ratio up badly. Last time I was at the track 3rd gear was all but used up in the 1/8. The cars rev limiter has been raised from stock to 7750 rpms but I dont think thats gonna stretch the gears much.

with 22x8x15's i ran 99.4 mph in the 1/8th in 3rd gear at right around 7700-7800. i have since moved up to a 24.5x8.5x15 slick and would now like to trap the same rpm in 3rd with the taller tire.

if you can trap 99+, go bigger, if not, stay small.

I know a good reason to run a 15" wheel.
