What would be better to put on the rear of the 5 for the strip, some 13" steelies, or my 13" original alloys?

i have just got my 13" steelies for my clio for going on the strip. they have 155/ 70/ 13 on them. just to get as little drag as possible and i will be putting a min of 40 psi for 1/4 miling in them. But is that the wheels you driving on te road with also? just something to take into consideration

Have you tried fitting the 13" clio steels on the rear?? I've put 14" clio alloy's on my 5 campus turbo and had to grind about 3mm of the pad carrier as they would'nt go on properly :(

Thats strange i could fit the clio steel 13" over the front 5 GTT brakes (not much room left mind you, give or take 2-3mm possibly)
