im torn..
What should i do fellas?
Its mostly a track car, if it does go on the street, i dont race it. I need better traction, my current nittos are about finished. Do you think i should...
a) put m/t et streets on the 17s
b)get some welds for it and put slicks on them, and put an all season tire on my 17 inchers
thanks for your help in advance.
OH PS, whats the tallest tire i can fit under my car, im finishint the 1/8 in 4th cause of my 410s and i was seeing if i can put a bigger tire on it to counter the gearing.

Personally, I would go with option B. That way you can drive to dinner without being scared of rain. Also, you won't cry the first time you find a nail in those E/Ts! 
I run a 275/40R17 on one car and a 275/50R15 on the other. Both cars have had the lip rolled.

Are you just shifting into 4th at the 1/8 mile, or are you topped out in 4th at the 1/8 mile?
I need a helmet.

I can't get the link to work. Was it a video of a pass at the track?
What RPM are you shifting at and what are your 60ft times like?

were you at lakeland thursday night? if so, you def need to get rid of the street tires, they're killing you, plus you're launching really soft. I noticed it seemed you had a very short tire also.............I've gotten a 28 inch slick under a 90 before on 10 inch rims by rolling the lip. I also don't know what you have for suspension but you need to at least get rid of front sway bar, you weren't getting any weight transfer (assuming that was you--is your car trailered?)
