Need help selecting "drag wheel/tires"
I am looking for an old school drag car look on my 2008 black bullitt. Big thick rubber out back and not skinnies but narrower tires up front.
Here is what I was thinking....

I'm interested in hearing comments on whether these tires will rub and how they'll look. Would like to see pictures if anyone has a similar set up. Thanks!

RE: Need help selecting "drag wheel/tires"
Idon't see any issues with that set-up and the S197.
Saleen runs 275/40/20's out back and car is lowered about 1.5'. That tire is 28.4' diameter and your proposed tire is about 3/8' larger. Remember, that only 1/2 of that overall diameter will translate into clearance issue and the other 1/2' into ride hight. I know several that run 305/35/20's and have no issues and your MT's are slightly narrower.
I say Go For It!!!!
