nope, but I can tell you from experience that you will have faster 1/4 mile times if you stick with the RS 14 inch rims and tires (if you already have them)

Maybe... if you can get traction... It was not a pretty sight... And too busy for more than two runs... fun night.

If you have access to last year's issues of Sport Compact, they had an article in there about wheel size and how it affect your E/T. I don't exactly remember which month, though.
