Okay, my friend has a 2002 GT Auto with CAI, Hypertech, cut outs, and 100 Shot dry system. He is spinning half track and has too back off the spray and only manages a 13.3. he is looking for a slick set-up that he can drive about 4 miles to the track. I say he should get some nitto drags or BFG drags and slap them on some smaller rims. he wants to get slicks to fit his 17" Bullitt rims but I says better gearing and more power from a smaller wheel and tire. What set-up would you guys recommend and where could he look for a wheel tire combo. Or, what wheels out there would be good to slap on for track days? I know some mazda wheels fit or maybe some older mustang alloys. Full race slicks are out of the question since the car is driven to and from the track. Thanks fellas.

If he absolutely wants to stay with 17" and doesn't want to use drag radials then go with M.T. E.T. streets. Go to a smaller wheel and getting more sideway would be better but it sucks changing wheels over all the time.

Any idea on what year stang rims will fit or what rims he should get? Also, any suggestions on where we can get the street ET's for a decent price?
