Has anyone successfully mounted slicks on their truck? I have a friend that is trying to find a wheel / brake combination that will let him run slicks to improve traction on his SRT-10. I think an 18" wheel with drag radials would probably fit, but a 305/40/18 tire would only be about 27.5" tall, a lot shorter than the stock 31.5" high tires. I think that'll screw the gearing and top end up pretty bad.
I think the best thing to do would be to downgrade the rear brakes to something like a quad piston 12" setup and try to fit 31" slicks on 15 or 16" wheels. Do you think it can be done? I am confident we can find the wheels, but I am having trouble finding suitable 12" brakes because I don't know where to look. Do you have any suggestions?
