    I don't think they will fit the quarter panel.
    I said in text 32 by 14 Hoosier fit the best.

    I never could get myself to buy used slicks........too hard to know the true age, how they were treated, etc.

    But I've never run goodyears, and those I know that do are not anywhere near that size......I'm certain like them all size, construction, and compound all effect the performance on each and every car.

    I've found on my own hoosier that different tracks and track temp effect my process with burnouts.


    I do know section width varies alot for the same advertised size between manufacturers

    Also those are not the same rims when I had it.
    So maybe they will fit. I would measure first.

    Denny said the new rims have a different BS and the PBR's were the only ones that he found to fit. Guess time will tell. I need my own tire machine. @ 25$ a swap this could cost $'s

    Back in the mid 90s I started buying 17x33 Goodyear take offs from the NHRA pro stock guys. They were cheap alterative to buying new. I've used them ever since. Of course I have to buy new now. They seem to last longer and have a better bite and more consistent when worn, over the Hoosiers.
