Well, as big & little as you can get on 16x7 Pony wheels, anyway.





Fronts: 205/60R16 El Cheapos

Rear 255/50R16 BFG Drag Radials

I love the way it looks. Keeps the sleeper theme going, but you know it's not all stock. Mostly stock, yeah, but not all stock.

Looks awesome! Any rubbing issues with the 255s? I was looking into 245/50s but wasn't sure how they would fit. Also, why not something a bit wider up front? You could have gone at least 225 up front. My car has Welds on it right now but they're just on loan, i've got Ponys going back on it for a while so i'm interested in a good tire size combo.

Im sure he knows he can go bigger, but hes using these wheels sort of like how you would use drag lites, with skinny tires up front and fat ones on the rear.

Ahh...i guess i took his post as kindof a pun on the fat/skinny thing since the backs are wider.

Yeah, I wanted the narrowest tire up front that kept the height close to stock. It's got drag springs & no front swaybar, so turning is not a priority. Zero clearance issues with the 255's in back.

Can I ask how much those BFG drags cost and where you got them?
