Default Drag Radial Question

On a stock 18" alloy pony wheel, what is the biggest tire I can put on there? I wanted to go 305/35-18 but dont know if this will fit. Can someone help?

I have cool air intake, 62mm twin throttle body, long tube headers with bbk mid Xpipe, 4.10 gears, 91 octane diablo sport tune, steeda short shifter, and my friends 16" drag radials... im tryhing to buy my own but i would like to use my stock 18" alloy pony wheels... Can you give me your opinion on pros and cons?

for the track 16"s would be better for your launching and ETs

for the 18"s either tire above would work well. the M&H is a taller tire and cut your gear a bit and is a nice balance for street - strip use.

I have the MTs now (the M&Hs were not out when I got them) and have been happy with them, good traction, but they are a bit shorter then stock @ 26.4 so your gearing is increased some by them and you run out of rpm in 4th around 124
