What size tires are you guys running up front? I have a pair of 245/40/17 bfg g force kdw 2's if i got some 315/35/17bfg drag radials wouldnt that look stupid having a lower series tire in the back than the front? Let me know what you think!
It not going to be smaller then the fronts. The second number 315/35/17 is the % of the width (first number). The side wall on a 245/40 is 98 and on a 315/35 is 110 so the back is going to be taller then the front.

I have 245/45/17 on the front and 275/40/17 on the rear. Nitto DR's Had them for about 3 months with lots of passes and on my daily driver and still look like new. I get no wheel spin at all with thme (but I have my suspension set up for drag racing)

no, it'll be bigger because it's 35% of 315mm.

The sportlines are going to work against you because they are too stiff. With a better tire you will hook better but not the best your car could do.
