Slicks sizes on stock 12a rim?

What size slicks can I mount on the stock 12a rims? I have a set of 9-20-13 road race slicks I want to use for drag night. Would they fit?

Thanks, Ed

Did you guys see those modified stock rims on ebay a while back, the rear wheels were cut and widened, hehe, perfect for sleeping.

If 9-20-13 means they are 9" wide, they probably won't work.
Probably have to find a 5" or 6" wide slick, And I wouldn't go any taller than the height of the 185-70's unless you have some gears. Unless you have a ford rear you may want to consider getting some good drag radials instead of slicks, stock rear probably won't last long.

I too would like to know what slicks have been mounted on stock rims.

Good question? Only if the falken azenis came in 13's.
I did see those rims and wanted them but the shipping price he had posted cost more than the rims.

Thanks, Ed
