13" rims aren't going to clear your brakes. You will be lucky to find 15" or 16" rims that will clear the Brembos.

Can you just stretch the tires?

I hear some of the kids talking about stretching their tiers to fit on they're rimz.

Maybe that wood work?

None of us here are family.

You can find some mickey thompson 16 inch (5 lug) race wheels and install drag radials on them.

You will need to match the tire SIZE to the SIZE of the wheel.

2nd off, you need to make sure you have the correct width clearance to run super wide radials.

3rd off, if you're going to invest in spacers with the CORRECT SIZED wheels, make sure the spacers are high quality ones. Though, I don't suggest it for racing reasons.

4th, keep it for track only. Drag radials isn't for daily driving.

5th, common sense says, if the brake size on the TL is 13 inch, a 13 inch or less wheel WILL NOT CLEAR your brakes with or without spacers this still holds true. A spacer doesn't fix the size of the rim, it only gives you offset clearance.

6th, take a lot of time to do research, otherwise you'd be wasting your time. To understand how shit works, you need to learn on your own. Understand by changing one thing, you changed other things as well. You are putting as much power to the ground, you want the most traction, so things must work as intended. Shit can't be breaking while your WOT down a track.

Trolling, right?

mad street cred duh...




i still think you can just get a compass and cut the tire so it will fit your 17 inch stock rims.

since its made for a 13 inch, you'll need to cut off 4 inches


but remeber, it's a circle, so you'll need to cut 2 inches off on each side.. 2+2 = 4


1 + 1 = window.


trust me. i'm

Okay, okay, I didn't know how much you were willing to bubble, but damn son... Why I gotta do all this for you?

You better cut me in on some of that trap money once you start banking from running these slicks...

Here is a 13x9 for you:

Weld Alumastar Drag Wheels 13x9 5 Lug 5x114.3 w/ Black Center

Now get to it!

(those even look too!)

thats driver error.

a good driver will modulate the throttle as to not get spin or hop.
