alrighty... i got 18 inch wheels and some low profile tires on her but what i am asking is when i "try to race" ill dump the clutch and my car will revv up but it takes time to go anywhere not a lot but still you can deffinatly feel it. like the engine has to push a lot harder to ge the car going and i loose almost every race now anyways... i dont even bother racing anymore
 cry cry thats how bad it is... i got perelli p7000 supersport tires on the rims all i am asking is if it is bad for my clutch or tranny???

18's on ANYTHING tend to get flats. Your tires are going to be real low profile, meaning less air is getting hotter. And smaller things can puncture them. Check the airpressure constantly. I dont kno what kinda rims you got, but my Focals were a helluva lot heavier than my stocks and you could definately feel the difference.
