I have stock 16inch 97 camaro rims on the car with some kelley charger 245/50?/16 tires all the way around. I am wanting to go to BFG Drag Radials 255/50/16 on the back 2 wheels only. Is it okay to do back wheels only for a daily driver? Will my car look like crap with different tires? what are you guys thoughts and suggestions on this???
thanks for any help in advance.

You normally only use drag radials in the back. Obviously, the tread pattern is going to be different than the front tires. I think anyone that would notice the difference would also know why its that way.

I tried to get some consistancy in appearance by running BFG tires both front (g-Force KDW's) and back (T/A DR's). But they still have different tread pattern.

I bought my 315/35-17 BFG T/A drag radials from Tire Rack. They were a few $$$ less there than at Summit.

I don't think there's anything wrong with different types of tires (as far as looks) just so long as the front and rear tires are the same brand. When I had my Nitto DR's in the back I made damn sure to have Nitto street tires up front. It just looks "right".
