a 26" tire will fit if you don't have any lowering springs... and you don't need to worry about speedo calibration if you only use them at the track

don't have to... just get some crappy summit racing ones ... its all about speed not looks ... and use your stock front rims ... the v6 stock front rims...

you can grab two american racing outlaw series for $200

225 is the width of the tire in mm's you can roughly convert that to inches to get an estimate on your rim size... but it doesn't matter to much ...

55 is the percentage of your width that is the side wall... so ... your sidewall is 55% of 225 or 123.75mm

so in turn they end up being about 3 and an eight inch tall side walls... from rim to tread that is... i think ... don't hold me to that

so overall from ground to the top of the tire they should be something like 22.25 inches unless im smoking weed or something but its really early for that

grab some 16x10 cragers for the rear for 50 bucks a piece and some nice slicks and just use those at the track and your street tires on the street

obdnanr · February 24th, 2008, 12:20 PM

what about 245/50/16, some nitto 555R EXTREME drag radials

you could get them to fit

obdnanr · February 24th, 2008, 12:24 PM

could????

GreenFaleen · February 24th, 2008, 12:27 PM

yeah they are only 10mm skinnier so that could go on the rim

Onemanzu · February 24th, 2008, 12:36 PM

fatter is better then skinnier ... 275s can fit on your 7 inch rim

obdnanr · February 24th, 2008, 12:45 PM

255 50 16 bfg's is what its lookin like

Onemanzu · February 24th, 2008, 11:51 PM

you can pick up some 15*8's from speedway motors for $100 for two... then get any slicks you want that fit an 8 inch rim and are 26 inches tall...

if your serious about your track needs then do that... other wise just stick with what you got for now until you know what you want to do with it for sure

obdnanr · February 25th, 2008, 06:50 AM

275s need a 9" tire or else they will bulge on the sides.

GTsetGO · February 25th, 2008, 09:57 AM

i have BFG's on the rims right now and they do good for me. thinking of going to MT ET streets when these are worn out.

work_in_progress · February 25th, 2008, 03:30 PM

i had a set of bfgs and they were ok but still easy to light up with my mostly stock v6 i then moved to a set of bridgestone potenzas and they are schweet and they get decent traction in the wet

obdnanr · February 25th, 2008, 05:23 PM

were they drag radials??

ahh tlok and tires what tiireesss

r/t has nothing to do with spinning or speed. if an 8-second car sits at the tree for 2 seconds then goes it can have a 2.000 r/t and a 1.5 60'...

i hooked great with bfg t/a drag radial 2's.
315/35/17

cut my 60' from 2.23 to 2.19\8-9. and cut .3 off my e/t
