drag slick growth
Anyone know how much 29.5x8 hoosiers grow?? Trying to come up with some measurements to order my wheels and figure how much my fenders need to be rolled.

Imo i think 29s is too big for a bigger turbo set up I wouldn't go bigger than 24.5 I think you would be fine with 23's 24.5?

Found that the wheels that I'm running have 6" backspacing and clear everything just fine. I'm thinking that the slicks are going to stick out past the rim though creating a need for less backspacing. I was thinking that around 4" of backspacing would push the wheel out far enough to work out for the wrinkle walls and not have to worry about anything. It may be too much though.

That means that the front wheels would stick out 2 inches farther than normal.

Why such a tall tire?

How much power are you making?

24.5x9x13 on lensos(exospeed) and lensos skinnes and you will be fine with your setup

Idk what brakes you are going to run but they clear nx brakes

Might need a spacer to put it out from the strut perch just a little bit.

38mm offset? So, from the centerline of the wheel to your hub is roughly 1.5" correct? Centerline would be 4" so your backspacing would be 2.5"? Those things do look like they stick out pretty good, how much room on your strut tower did you have and what size slicks??

Looking for 9" wheels to fit my tires though, hate to go with a undersized wheel.

Trying to stay away from a spacer if I can, planning to order some wheels from diamond racing and have my backspacing already correct.

With 4" backspacing it puts me pretty close to where the spindle mounts to the strut on a 13" wheel. I'd say within and inch. Plus I know the slicks are going to poof out at the sidewalls and make that clearance even more of an issue. I'm thinking 2 1/2" or 3" would be ideal.
