I'm looking into getting a set of RT-S bigs and littles.

I have a few questions for those of you who have ran the setup.

One they're 17x4.5(Fronts) and 15x10's(Rear)

What size tires did you run on them and did you have any clearance issues with the brakes?(I have a Non-Brembo car)

How did you get around the TPMS light? Short of taking the bulb out or putting a sticky note over it I wouldn't know how to bypass it.

And lastly how bad does running bigs and littles kill your turn radius? I mean, I'm not trying to Auto-cross the car or anything. I'd just be leaving a 275/35ZR20(all four wheels) which turns really well for how long the cars are.

Thanks

Tires: ............................... Wheels:
Front - 28 x 4.5 x 17........... Front - 17 x 5
Rear - 28 x 11.5 x 15.......... Rear - 15 x 10
No clearance issues with the front brakes. ( Brembo ) On the back, the rear swaybar had to be relocated. ( BMR & others make a kit )
TPMS fault - hit the reset button.
This tire/wheel package is for the track, it saves weight & allows me to hook up. Also, these are bias ply tires, handling is not part of their skill set. ( they do see some street use )
.

 

As far as the TPMS light, are you planning to leave the RT-S's on the car all the time?

If you are just going to run them for race days then don't worry about the TPMS warning, if you are going to run them all the time then just put TPMS sensors in them.

 

By far these are my favorite drag wheel. Nice choice.

1 Alibi, would you feel comfortable driving to the track on that setup including about 20 miles on the highway?

 

I have an RS2 Roush. on the rear sway bar will that make a difference with clearance I want to keep my suspension how it is....

 

Scratch that. Just found a way to keep my stock Roush sway arm with just relocating the mount.

On a different note, does anyone know sized for radials? I found a set of Radials 27.8" rears(325's) and 25" fronts(185's) Will the mismatched dimensions mess with me? And I was also told since my car is a 3.73 car and since it is I "Should not go over a 27" tire". I'm assuming that has to do with RPM's and launching. Anyways the closest I can find is a 27.8" equivalent Radial(325's). Will that really hurt me?

No issue with a 20 mile drive to the track, drove it 65 miles to my tuner with this set-up on. I run 30psi in the rears on the street, drop to 12-15psi @ the track.

 

Thanks
