Gen 3 drag slick choices?

[FE 065]

I might make the move to a Gen3 coupe soon. I did a search here but didn't see any definitive info on what the easy slick choices are, like whether I can use Gen2 wheels & DRs on a Gen3, or...?

Anyone ?

You have to go to a 18" wheel to get any drag tires, and for that to fit on a Gen3 you need to get the E-Brake relcate kit for the 18"s to fit. Only 1 choice for the stock 19"s those are the Hossier R6.

An 18" Gen2 Viper wheel I assume ?

That or go to Partsrack.com they have the SSR and BFG drag tires http://partsrack.blastmart.com/customer/product.php?productid=1448&cat=147&page=2

I already have an extra set of OE '99 rims and BFG DRs. So I guess I'd just need the Ebrake relocate kit to use them on a G3.

Who makes the ebrake relocate kit?

You can get it from Parts Rack. Not expensive or difficult to install (once you figure out the orientation).

Good luck. Is this a replacement or addition?

I don't think stock gen2 18" wheels will fit even with an e-brake relocate. I believe it will still hit the gen3 caliper. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

It's definitely a replacement if it happens at all...


Then I'll be pestering you for Paxton intall info !


I just was reading on the G2 forum there weren't many red '99 GTSs made. Might be easy to sell my <10K mile GTS come Spring.
