getting ready to get my rims and tires and need some help finding what i want. im geting magnum 500 rims 15x8 and im trying to find some tires for a strip/street car. right now i have 215 60 r14 on the front and 235 60 r14 on the rear and this is on a 73 mach1 by the way. im looking for a little bit more height to fill the wheel wells in the back but try and keep the fronts about the same maybe a size bigger. im looking for a drag radial if i couild find one but i cant seem to find what i want and need some help so... if you guys could tell my what you are running or if you of a set up that might work it would be great thanx.

Personally, I wouldn't get larger diameter tires in the back unless you like that 70's look. I'd use the same diameter tires all around and use lowering blocks and/or lowering springs if you need to.

The widest you'll find in 14's are 245/60/14, the tallest you'll find is 225/70/14. I like Cooper's Cobra or Hercules HP4000 (same tire just different brand by Cooper). If you want taller or wider you'll have to go with 15" or taller wheels.
