Are you looking for a full on slick or a drag radial. The difference is that the radial is usually DOT compliant and can be driven on the street. The radial also has a stiffer sidewall. I would check out Mickey Thompson's web site...

They have an ET Street in a 17" that hooks very nicely on the street and the strip.

you must be putting down some serious power if drag radials don't give you enough traction. you can get drag radials in sizes up to 20''

I suspect the OP doesnt quite know what he wants... and if he did I dont think he's putting the the power to warrant it.

I do warrent a drag slick but i have bn told that its hard to fit a 15" rim on the g35 b/c of the brake disk clearence. besides all the other posts on here b/c apparently no1 read the original question. what mods r needed to place a rim size that can carry a drag slick ( not drag radial)

we are in the process of doing this to make it for a race feb 22. You will need to run a spcaer to clear the non brembo calipers. Its a tuff thing to explain and can be done better with pictures. I will start the post up soon in the drag section. later mike
