Default Mickey Thompson ET Radials

on a 5.0 lx what's the biggest i would want to go without rubbing?

i suppose i'm only going to purchase two for the rear tires, what size do you suggest? i'm going to be using this as my DD from time to time.

i went M/T's 235/50-15's and i have 4:10's a 100 shot of nitrous, and a bunch of bolt on crap......

my point is you don't need the "biggest tire" for your setup unless your putting down some serious hp

i don't know what your running, but for what i'm running the tires don't spin at all! (even in 1st gear with the nitrous)

What mods and gears do you have. A 60 series may be a lil tall.
