15" rims won't fit over the standard TT brakes, hence why the TT came with 16" and the V8 15" (except actives of course)

Keep hunting for some bigger ones?

Better off using some 16 inch Falcon Chaser wheels. about 60 bux from the wreckers and BRand New slick for $275 each including GST. Try They were helpful when i was enquiring.

ALSO.... Measure your current Tyre height. Make sure you get a SLick that is the closest in height to that. Otherwise you slightly change your ratios a little.

Daniel.. $275 each for MTT-3793R is a good price, VPW is offering $322 each..are these the ones you used to get your 1.8 second 60 ft time?

I think we would all get pissed if someone let loose with a big burnout. Would be interesting to see just how many runs you could get one a set, doing just a regular burnout.

If I can't pull an 11 on current engine power next time i go, I'll let you have a crack at it Daniel :-)

Oh and I got rims for the MT's on saturday. I got lucky, I found a set of 16x8 late model supra rims from an NA supra that are identical to the 17x8/17x9.5 I have. I didn't know they existed. So it'll look close to stock at the strip with MT's on the back.

If anyone wants to buy the other two 16x8 rims i have left, welcome to them at 75 each.
