I wanna run slicks next time at the track but I am having a hard time finding what I need. I have given up in 14" and I am wanna go 15" now. Do 24.5x8x15 work? What is a good cheap steel wheel that will work till I can get a 15x7 aluminum rim.
so what size should I run
whats a cheap rim to find to get by with
Thanks
Mostly depends on the power you're making
I run the M&H 23 x 7.5 x 15 on my GLHT, good for low 12's and had zero traction issues
On my SRT-4 I run drag radials on PT Cruiser rims, those will work for slicks too
Looking at the website, they have a lot more sizes available

They also have the 8.5 x 23 x 15
If your making good power, go with a taller tire
Car will be 12 with slicks I hope. It's a first gen with SRT swap. I have crazy tractions issues.
So a 23x8.5x15 would be ideal?
Please help wanna order them for next weekend
I would worry more about your axles then getting too much traction.
13" rim would probably be ideal
As long as the 8.5" wide tire will clear the struts, go with those
If there is any question, go with the 7.5's
For a cheap rim, go to a junkyard and pick up a pair of PT Cruiser steel wheels
An 8.5" slick might be a little wide for that rim
Neons have weaker axles and you don't need 10 second slicks to run 12's. 13" rim with something like a 23x8x13 would work better. It would also help your gearing over a 24.5.
I only once attempted a pass in an srt4 swapped 1st Gen neon and didn't make it off the line :(
Yes Ondonti your are so Right I have been researching this all week and I'm going with a 13" Rim. It gives me ALOT more tire sizes I can run. I am gonna go with a set of 13" basset rims with bead Lock. I just need the community's help in what the dimensions of the rim should be.
Should I buy a 13" rim with a 5" back spacing? Will that be enough to run on the front of a coupe first gen?
Who is running 13 what are you rim dimensions please???
24.5's will fit with coilovers
I only know Reeve's is running 13's and I assume he has custom wheels. I don't know a thing about fitting rims. I do dumb things like add positive camber to prevent rubbing when I have the wrong rims :P
Vigo here does the most wheel fitment obsessing that I know of.
Just need to know the back spacing before I pull the trigger. I am gonna go with a 13x8. 5x100 with a 5"??? Back spacing?
I think that should work. I'm not looking to spend $1000 on 2 Rims.
