#24366, "my old 14's vs my 17's at the track"




          

last time i was at the track i ran my 14's that have on the stocker rubber (which is basically worn down to almost no tread ) when i launched i got bad wheel hop and basically along with my smushy suspension blew my rubber inserts in my motor mounts and the actual trans mount needs to be replaced ... now i usually ride on my 17's they are light weight racing hart c5 knock offs .. the katanas .. their weight isnt to bad but the tires are much better .. i have on the kumho ecstas ... now would running the bigger wider tires help with my launch .. i get no wheel hop out of these tires/rim setup and i feel like i get a better launch ...so what im asking is this a wise thing .. running the bigger wider wheels as opposed to the skinny stockers ..

opinions pls
