Tire spinning woes

[dibbz68]

As we all know, the GT500 has insane wheel spin, I have an idea, please chime in and give me your thoughts on this!
with stock tires or street slicks like the ET streets im running, the car simply does not hook up, how about changing the rearend angle by a degree or two, so it will want to lift the car under acceleraton...thoughts

What is your combo? How much power are you making? On mine the goodyears where junk, went with the 305/35/18 mt et street radials and they seem fine. I imagine if you have 650rwhp plus your not gonna get much of anything to hook on the street.

Lowering my car helped prevent wheel hop.

I too am running th MT ET streets, 305's they work fine i just cannot get them to hook under hard acceleration at the track (run with 12lbs), street is fine though
i am only running the stage 2 evolution kit 500hp at the wheels

try the 305/45/18 they will hook better. or buy the bogarts and get some 15in under it.

Yes..'When you put on stronger lower control arms be sure to get the relocation brackets also. The angle will tend to lift the car and transfer weight to the rear wheels for better traction

I have 28x11.50x16 ET Streets and they seem to hold pretty good. Only suspension mods are QA1 single adjustable rear shocks. I also have the EVO stage II like yourself.

305/35/18 is just slighty shorter than stock tires, about the cheapest I found them was at Jegs or Summitt.
