Anyone know if the (wrinkle wall) M&H Racemaster 21 slicks will work with 15x7 wheels?
It's recommended size is 15x6 wheels. But if I put them on the 15x7 wheels, wouldn't some of the sidewall be used as contact patch and make it dangerous?!?!?!!

7.5x23.0-15 are the size of the slicks. TIA!

I used to mount tires, and one inch on the rim does not make that much difference. it might widen the contact patch a total 1/4". there is enough of a tread edge on wrinkle walls that I don't think it will run on the sidewall anyway. I would not worry if I ran them.

let me know what you think about these as I am in the market for slicks myself.

I got a pair of 15x7's (Kosei K1 Racing Silver) coming this week with P225/50R-15 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radials. After I get use to launching better on gripper tires and use them up, then I will go to slicks. HINT: (Phantom grip is in my hand) Stage2 Axles will be in Late April or early May:D.

I will, but won't put it in until I get new fly and clutch with the axles. Still debating on Exedy Cerametallic kit or Clutch masters or ACT kits Stage 3 or 4. So I can install it all at once during a weekend for less down time. D2 Coil-Over Suspension and rear brake upgrade are supposed to shipping this week also.

Your just a baller Bio! Please give us some feedback on the Phantom grip. I would go with Exedy or ACT. But that is my opinion. Those M&H slicks are nice. I've been wanting to pick up a set for my stockies.
