Needs help choosing slicks...
 
I dont know the numbers on the slick sizes. I dont even know if what i just typed made sense...i need a "slick tire sizing education". I bought some 17x9 rims, im saving the 17x8 and wanna put some slicks on the 17x8. But i dont know what the numbers in the size mean. I know how to read regular tire sizes, can someone please help me out with the "lesson". Also any suggestions on sizes that fit a 8 inch rim would be very helpful...thanks

mickey thompson et streets. this size is 275/40/17 so it should fit on your 8" rims without too much buldge.

even though it says minimum rim size 9"..that would be ok to run on a 8" rim? I would like to get an actual SLICK though...for track only..

You could fit that tire on that rim. Itll buldge out but itll be fine.

you wont find slicks for your rims.

yeah im having a hard time finding a 17" slick...i guess thats why, they dont make that size. Well thanks for the tire suggestion.
