no don't really care on brand, whatevers cheapest. in the next couple weeks i should be hittin ~260 rwhp, maybe a bit more. i expect to be in the low 13s, maybe high 12s a little down the line, N/A. also, what size should i consider, and when would i be able to consider a 15x10??

Why not just go with a set of DR's for your stock wheels? No offense, but you probably aren't going to be running high 12's with 260 rwhp, so you aren't really putting down enough power to warrant getting a big sticky rear tire. You could even just buy a pair of rear 17x10.5's that match your fronts and put a DR on them.

also, as the guy before me stated, 12s can be accomplished with ~260hp. theres actually a write up about it on stangnet, i think.

well for one, and i think i stated this in the original post, i don't want DR's on my daily driver, as i don't want to hafta buy a new set of $200+ tires every 10,000 miles or less, and i enjoy traction in wet condtions. also, i just bought 2 new rear tires 2 months ago, so thats completely out of the question.

i see ur sig says the heartbreaker. only my .02 but if u run a 15 x 10 on a mickey thompson ur gonna be putting a new word, axle breaker on there lol. i run a 15 x 8 prostar on a 275/60/15 on my car and it takes a 4.10 rear gear to get them going.
personally, i would run a 15 x 8 wheel with a 4.5 bs on a 275/50/15 bfg, this will give u a little spin out of the hole, and shouldnt break anything. if u wanna run a mickey thompson tire, u will hook better, close to 2 tenths of a second roughly, but u run the chance of breaking the stock axles.

I didn't say it's not possible, but from the mods in his sig I really doubt he's going to be running 12's with a set of sticky tires.
