what size tires you running at the track and what is done to your car?

i am ordering my rear wheels and tires tomorrow but i am unsure of what size tires. i was gunna do a 275/60/15 which is 28 inches tall, but i dont want it to be too tall of a tire and hurt me and cause me to bog down.

With your mods, you should stay in the 26"-27" range. 28" is a bit tall for the mods you have. I had 4.10's in my '05 and couldn't bust into the 12's. I'm sure it was the tire size.

28" is great with forced induction, but 26"-27" is better for NA.

damn. i don't wanna run a 26 inch tire because this is gunna be a street driven tire and its not lowered and i think it might look like a 4x4 haha.

although, i'm half tempted to go with a 26 inch tire just for the ET.
