Just for slicks in the rear. 17s will not fit in the front. They only clear the rear caliper by a few millimeters.
I now have four sets of rims and tires for my F. Two sets of stock wheels with Track and winter tires. Daily Strasse 20s equipped with better wearing tires and now this rear set of 17s for the strip...

No offence, but I doubt you can hit 10s. I remember another member had your same setup and achieved 11.9, Slay 11.3 with nos, and a person with a 600whp isf w/nos achieved 11.9 over here. Nevertheless, good luck!

I ran 12.7 at 115 last year with just my intake on stock tires, haven't gone since... really hopping I get somewhere for all the money I have spent. I would hope slicks and 200hp/150tq gain would make a difference, 10s are defiantly being optimistic.

If you come to Nj to run, you can crash at my house and use my garage/tools if needed. I'll even have a few friends come out and film multiple angles. I'll run with you too.

Fig has a brilliant strategy for safely shipping wheels.
