Ideally you need 5 x 10 with 165 tyres, I only have 6 x 10 cos I think they look nice I seriously doubt it! |

Hi paul, thanks for the reply. I.m using 165 tyres. could you use 6x10 for extra foot print for launch and 5x10 on rear for less drag? or am i talking s**t lol

Depends what you want, if you want more grip, then 13" wheels with a wider tyre will be better.
Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

the design shows a distinct lack of imagination, talk about starting off with a clean sheet of paper, then not bothering to fucking draw on it,lol On 20th Apr, 2012 Paul S said:
I'm mainly concerned about swirl in the runners caused by the tangential entry. |

Was looking at slick tyres for future use, but have new ao32r tyres for now and like the look of 10" wheels. |

Got ya, think I remember reading some place about 167/70 r10 can only really be fitted to 6" with out stretching. Cool well will look into maybe running 5x10 rims for now.

Hi, well the plan is to build a 998 turbo drag mini using a past project mini I've managed to get back. No photos as of yet, got to finish the spi first. Will put up a build log when I start
