Forget the 4:11's, go straight to the 4:44's......then you'll want to put them in the race car!

Honestly, I really don't think so considering too much isn't always a good thing when you're limited to stock wheel size or smaller in your class. I can light up all 4 with 225 victoracers now so any more it'll be like driving my 6. Tons of wheel spin coming out of turns so you can't use the power! Besides, it hopefully will be a track car as well.

Ben,

Sounds to me like you need more tire on that beast!
