I have the Nitto 555r extreme drags on the back of my blown 93, and man do they stick. Drop the pressure to 20lbs when you go to the track, and it's almost like running a slick. (and they do not squeal - smoke yes, but not a sqwack out of em)

what size....17..18...20 inch?
You can fit a 20 inch rim with sportlines (2 inch drop),just get a tire with the same diameter.
A 285/55/17 is 26 inches tall...and a 285/30/20 is also 26.1 inch tall.www.tirerack.com has a spec list for all there tires.Just do a little research.

You should be ok. I threw some 20's with 255/35 in the front and 285/35 in the rear. I'm also having it lowered and I've been guaranteed that there will be no problems. Lowering takes place on Monday.

i'm sure they will fit. i'm just waiting till i get back from iraq in a few weeks to pick up the new ride. i won't install everything till jan. though. don't want to get those new rims screwed up while i'm up in DC for new years.

thanks for all the input. so far i have the wheels, eibach pro kit, tokico d-spec's, steeda shifter, and a new shifter knob. it is all sitting in the garage waiting for my return.
