Drag slicks don't come in 18" sizes. You would need to buy smaller wheels (15's preferably).

Link please. You sure they are drag slicks and not AutoX slicks? Sounds counter productive though to have 18 in wheels for slicks. You want a lot of tire to hook good, not a lot of rim.

Not really, cause slicks are pretty thick if you get the right size.

having 18 inch slicks would kind of defeat the purpose. you want a high profile so that the sidewalls will ripple and crease. listen to travis. just get some 15x8" rims.

plus the smallest tire size they offer in 18 is 245/40/18 so pretty much need a 8.5 rims. you run run those tires on the street but goodluck if it rains.

its that a custom fuel return setup up? it looks like the fpr plug from ptuning.. oh i think it would be better to have a 90 deg barb fitting, it gonna be a tight fit with that barb fitting pointing up and might cause the fuel line to get pinched unless you modify the cover
