I wouldn't go any wider than a 255 width, or you risk having way too much sidewall flex for it to be safe at all in handling.

I used to have 255/60/R15's on the back of my Notch (friggin' tall) and it worked okay, but the rear end was a little squirrelly in corners.

You can run 265/50s with no problems at all.

I have 245-60s on mine and it's a hair squirely during sharp high speed turns. It's safe for the street though.

Thanks guys. And by the way I am using the car for street and drag use so I dont have to worry about it in the corners.

They're Pep Boys Futuras....relatively cheap and hook ok for a street tire. They stand up to a good amount of burnouts too.
