Looking at getting hoosier drag slicks and rims also. Does anybody have a set up? What sizes, the whole nine yards. Thanks

9 Gen Sedan not lowered. stock suspension
 
@VitViper should answer this. He's done a lot of track stuff, and he'd be the one to probably give the best advice with the runs they've done on the 11 sec 8th gen. Plus he knows your turbo setup.
 
I haven't seen what brake caliper clearance is like with a 15" wheel on the 9th gen yet, but what we always run is the following:

24.5/8.5/15 M&H slick (love the tire, won't bother trying anything else)
15x8 40mm offset Rota slipstream. They are getting to be very hard (if not impossible) to find now since rota stopped making they.

Basically, an 15" wheel you can find that will clear the brakes will work. You want one that is 8" wide so you can take advantage of the section width of teh 8.5" wide slick.

Thanks man. Ill have to see what they are like... I ran a 12.8 @114 on my first time ever going to the track on 18x8 rota tarmac 3s 225/40r18 hankook ventus v12 evos with about 1/3 tread. I have to do a gay launch so i lose a lot of time there and im a noobie so there is plenty of room for improvement!
