Default 450whp SC300 W/MT et streets 26x10.5

Just purchased a set of M/T ET streets, and Im curious to knw if any one is currently using them whether its for streets or track use, im mainly want to use them for the streets, bt when i do go to the track 1/8 will i have to worry about anything breaking or shattering when launching at 3800rpm's?
My set up
450whp 2JZ-GTE
titan motorsport tranny
3800stall
TRD 2-way LSD

heres why i need tires

You need suspension and a decent tire. Not the stock 4" wide wheels with 75 profile tire dude. That's stupid with your engine setup.

agree with this dude, but drag radials on the stock wheels is cool too. I'm a huge fan of sleepers

Nothing will break with that set up as the auto puts preload on the driveline so no shock loading with that of a manual car, The only weak link could be the differential bushings if they are stock as the soft rubber will cause wheel hop but other than that it's a nice set up and the stock rims make that such a sleeper!

ive used the mt et streets, that should solve your problem, i really like the hoosier drag radials but the et streets last a bit longer.

i burned through my et streets in 3 months driving on the street and drag racing it every so often.

buy the et streets

Never said i was using stock wheels sir, ill be using reinforced FD 16'' rims wide enough to support this set up. i plan on using tien flex coilovers with an edfc, and a different pair of rims for when im just cruzing, these slicks are for nights i wanna go to the track or do some dirt on the streets, im tying to get a general idea on how well they'll work on the streets at low speeds when taking off like i did in the video posted.

Thank ya sir i just got my car back a month ago from dynosaur performance i have an sc400 rear end with 3.26 final drive. ive tried lauching it from a dig once i dont remember wheel hop bt just a bunch of spinnig from lack of traction and the 2way locking up. so im excitrd to see how well they hook to put the rest of tht power down at low mph rolls untill i get a better suspension which will help even better.
