Thanks. I’m not having any axle hop, just plain old wheel spin, especially when I’ accelerating in a turn. By the way, I have new springs and shocks on four corners. I expect some wheel spin, but this seems a bit much to me, which is why I want to go with bigger, stickier tires.

Three questions:

1. What is the best size of tires for the front and rear of the tiger.
2. What are the proper wheel offsets? I don’t think the wheel diameter matters when determining offsets.
3. Third, should the rear wheels be wider than the fronts, like on Porsche cars?

Thanks.
