Thats fine for your car, assuming you have your 16" rims on. Thats about as big as they will take. I had them on mine for awhile. As far as the Drag Radials, I don't know what your gonna do with the car but those are more for the strip. They wear out easily, about 10k and have crap traction in the rain.

I agree. I have the same tires. They hook well but DO NOT travel fast with those tires in the rain. I lost control on the highway doing 55mph in the rain.
