Well the best wheel to go with the widest Drag Radials are 17x10.5.... They don't look as good but they can hold wider tires.

315 wide Nittos, BFGs, Etc....

Nitto 555rwill give you the best milage outta all of them but the worst in traction.... If you wanna hook up with them, do LONG burnouts... Gotta get them soft and sticky.

BFGs will give you good to great traction but has les miliages then the Nittos.

M/T E/T streets will give you the BEST traction outta the above.... But worst in milage and wet traction.

if got nitto 555r's now with a good amount of tread left, but they spin like crazy. basically i want a tire that i can launch with, even coasting at 10mph it would be nice to punch the gas and not spin. ive got 18x10.5 in the rear.
