Can it be because I slapped on new 18" rims? I'm running veilside 18x8 and 18x9 with 205/40/18 front and 235/40/18 back. I noticed the car doesn't peel out as much as it did before with 16" stockers. With the stockers on the pickup was pretty quick off the line. Am I losing performance here with 18's? Or is it because the 18's with low pro tires provide better traction?

Damn! I kind of liked how it peeled out with the stockers before. Not only that it's seems more torquey when the stockers locked up. With these 18's it sort of feels like I'm losing some performance but maybe its better since there's more grip. And it should be safer once I start spraying.
