Hi, I would appreciate any recomendations for front & rear tire sizing. The Tyco wide pan chassis will be used w/ Nascar bodies. Rear tractions magnets will be replaced w/ brass weight kits & cars will be run approx.-14 volts.
Front ends will be weighted & independent. I have never tried slip on rear silicone tires, but would like to for this application. Can slip on's be used directly onto Tyco rims? Suggestions appreciated for manufacturers of
double flange rear wheels, slip on's & sizes. Thanks, Dominick :)

BSRT .225 rims if you can get them yet, with a PVT-01 slip on gets them right down to the rails pretty good. A PVT-02 is wider like the X2 rim, but shorter. You might be able to make it work with something like a .250 - .270 rim maybe.

My experience anyway. Some of the racers here might be able to tell you more / better options. :thumbsup:

Thanks 'Doba, I was thinking rear tire O.D. to be in the .450 inline Jet range.
Someone suggested front tire sizes for Tyco wide pan need to be taller,
possibly .370. I would like to level chassis close to rails. The Tyco Nascar class will be 1 of 3 house prepped cars in IROC format. The other 2 will be
Tomy W/ Dash Camaro bodies & a Lexan class. All will be low volt. inline Jet.
