Few quick questions im just building up a T-Fource for stock carpet racing.

1) Whats the largest starting diameter you recomend for new tires front and rear?

2)Whats the recomended front to rear stagger between the front and rear tire diameters? fronts always smaller? If so by how much? 1,2,3mm?

Thats all for now.

Thanks for any replies
Joel-you'll be happy to know I just drove my new t-fource and it was stupid good right out of the box. I dont know your level of financial commitment, but I start tires small even for club racing. It hurts to see all that foam go flying away-but oh well.

I dont care one bit aboout tire stagger because the cars 2wd. I know some believe in it-I dont. I also run lowered ods and lowered front arms from IRS. This allows me to run fronts down to 1.60 if need be and rears donw to 1.66", again, if need be.

Anyways-heres club racing starting sizes.

Fronts 1.68" Max, but I like them in the 1.64" range.

Rears 1.81" Max, but I like them in the 1.71-1.74 range.
