I am in need of tires and I am wondering if I should get a offset with the sizes being
245/50ZR16 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 back
225/55ZR16 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 front
or should I get the 245 all around? Are these good tires and will they hook up at the 1/4mile, I only go about 3-5times a year but I have a problem hooking up with my bfgoodrich tires now 235/55/16 I do alot of sprinted driving on the road....opinions welcome. Anyone got a setup like the one I am looking at as far as the offset pics please.

245s are to big on the front. I have 225 50 BFG G-force kdw's on the front and 255 50 BFG Drag Radials on the back for now. Looks good to me. Cars lowered quite a bit also

i have those sizes...they are the BFG KDWS's front and back..

i think they actually looked better on the slightly narrower pony wheels

here they are on the waffles....theyre like .5" wider a rim than a stock pony rim.





compared to some old 225's lol



EDIT: found them on the ponies haha...ima pic whore
