What size drag slicks?
What size of drag slicks would be ideal for the 1992-1999'*?
I have three different types of rims to use:
1997-1999 GP 16x6.5" 5-spoke rims
1993-1999 16x7" crosslaces
1987-1991 Olds 15x6.5" crosslace rims
I'm thinking I'd like to use the 15" rims as they'd probably be lighter and the 15" slicks would be slightly cheaper.
Would 26" be too tall?
Also, anyone remember what size Jeffreyx2 was using on his 92 SSEi? I remember he had 15" steel wheels off a Lumina, and some really short slicks to improve his gearing, which I'd like to do too.

Use Nitto NT555Rs in 245/50/16 size mounted on crosslace rims.
You can see them in action here;
Foghorn burnout
Don't mind the audio . And I know the exhaust bounced around, I've since replaced the two rubber support rings just behind the cat because they were broken.
Cheers,
