Just gotta have enough height and the car cant squat down to far onto the tire. I ran airbags in the rear to stop the car squatting and I believe blueboost had longer bumpstops to prevent the tire hitting the guard on launch.

I think that you are going to need more rubber on the rears!The car has a flat "factory like" torque curve but with a bit more torque. Actually much more torque!! It has over 1000nm from 3000 - 5200 rpm! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67791-slick-size/#findComment-1003846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to change all the rear break set up because its to big to fit 15 or 16 inch rims and then taller springs to get those 28 s under Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/67791-slick-size/#findComment-1003861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
