Re: traction problem

A 28 x 9 slick will fit with no problems. With some inner fender modifications, a 29.5 x 10.5 slick can be stuffed under the fenders.

Re: traction problem

Hello, if you still have the stock lower control arms your going to need a better set along with relocation brackets to help you move your instant center which will aid in weight transfer and help the car hook. If you would like to give me a call here at the office we can go over what would be the best mods for you.
