I just got a set of weld draglites and was wondering what is the best size tire i can get. Looking for something wide. The rims are 15x7 and im putting them on an 87 gt.

Get 265 or lower. Anything more will have clearance issues. I have 275 and about a 1/4 inch away from each tail pipe. So I'm gonna downsize soon.

I wouldn't go any wider than 245 on a 7" wheel. Conventional wisdom has said that the wheel should be close to as wide as the tires tread width for best traction and tire wear. A 245 tire is 9.64" wide or about the max you would want to run.
