Whats the best wheel size/slicks to go with for FWD? Ive been trying to find some more info on slicks but havent had much luck. If you have a set of drag slicks, post the size of your rims and tires! Thanks
 
I run M&H slicks on my FWD and they are tight. My best 60ft with them is a 1.8 on a badly prepped track (Rock Falls Raceway)

M&H RaceMaster 24x9.2x15 on a set of 2000 Galant ES steel wheels (15x6) They do rub on the strut spring perch when they balloon out around the 1/8th mile mark. I ran a set of spacers to take care of that but I would recomend going with a longer wheel stud for safety.

If I could do it again I would mount them on a 15x8 race wheel like Bogart's
 
M/T 24.5X8X15 on 15X6 wheels best 60ft is 1.88 but usually 1.9's . I'm terrible at launching.
The wheels came off a late 90's Mazda Millinia, 12lbs. 4oz. each, direct bolt on no spacers needed.
 
I used m & h also (24.5 x 8.5 on 13 inch weld racing rims)
Best 60 was a 1.73 and I also had to use spacers, plus different whell studs.



P.S.
I'm selling the slicks,the rims and spacers/lug nuts.
