What size Drag Radials can I fit on the rear?
I am looking into getting some new tires and possibly wheels for the rear end. I am not Hooking up too well on the street. I have notbeen to the track but I'd like some wheels and tires I can use for track days and maybe some street play.
Im not sure what wheel size?
What side wall size?
or How wide of a tire?
Right now I have 275 40 17 Kuhmo's. I don't have any complaints in the tire but I need some more traction.

I run 275/40/17 Nitto 555 dr's on the street and at the track sometimes, they will give you all the traction you need and they wear fairly decent on the street too. Most people report getting around 15k miles out of them on street driving. It's about the best street/strip tire you can get. BFG dr's may hook a little better but they wear about 3x faster.

From what I have seen, BFG's hook up considerably better...I am looking to get 1.5's 60's on BFG's.

I was thinking of getting a set of wheels for the track that can run on the street legally. Im not sure what route I should go with the tires. 2 years ago I got the corvette wheels and Kuhmo tires, sso I don't want to shell out more money on wheels unless I get a set of wheels just for DRL's I see so many different sizes and Im nt sure what is best. 15 16 17 inch rim? I know I want at least 275 or bigger since I run 275 now. As far as the side wall, Im clueless on what the benifets are in having adeeper sidewal for hooking up. I knnow the handeling improved with the 275 40 compaired to the 275 50.
