Biggest you can fit is a 275 and you might have to remove the quad shock depending on if your lowered and what not.

to fit a 275 you will have to remove the quad shocks

26x10.5-15LT ET Streets would be a good choice for you. These tires have an 8" tread and fit easily on a fox3 car with 15x8 wheels. You can give the tubes a miss as well - they're not going to spin on the rims.

I run 28x10.5 ET Drag on my '90 LX, but I have the quad shocks removed and Steeda weight jacker lower control arms with the back of the car jacked up a fair bit for clearance. 28x10.5 ET Drag are similar in dimension to 28x12.5 ET Street, or just about the same width as 26x11.5 ET Street.

Yeah youd wanna run the 26x10.5 et streetsi have the 28's on mine and i had to roll the fenders and the quad shocks are removed. Hooser also makes a quicktime pro dot that fairly decent for cheaper i belive. I personally like the hoosiers better i have to burn the MT's pretty good to get them not to spin.

On a cold track, like it is every day in Calgary, you do have to burn the M/T tires hard. Something like 8-10 seconds in the box. If they are not good and smokey, they won't hook on a cold track.

I found this was the case even with L4 compound ET Drags. I kept fooling myself thinking that the stickier compound would not require as hard of a burn out, but when I stepped the burnout up to 8-10 seconds in 2nd gear, I went from crappy 1.75 or so 60's to 1.56 60's.

Good luck with your choice.
