Message You had a lot of wheelspin... and you say you run 18x8" all the way around, stock TT's have 9.5 in rears and NA's even have 8.5 all the way around, so if you reduced the amount of rubber, you aren't going to get good traction off the line, or down the track, hence the wheelspin through the 60' foot. The difference tires make is huge, you shoud NEVER downgrade your wheels for looks, The larger diameter of the 18's already makes acceleration slightly harder to acheive, anf the lack of rubber width destroys your hopes of better times. Buy WIDER, not bigger wheels. my .02
