With your mods I'd look into a set of 8 inch wide wheels and getting 275's. You might need a 28 inch tire for those 3.73's with that super charger in front of them. You could get a set of 28x10.5 inch slicks on the 10 holes no problem especially if the wheels are just for the track.

yeah with the 373's im trappin at the very top of 4th so im guessin i want a tire close to the same size as my street tires. right now i have 255/45's on there.

fri night went 13.0 at 111mph with a 2.175 60ftand was spinnin some out of the hole. im goin for 12's on streets still before i put on the dr's
