Default Draglite

I've got a '95 Mustang GT and im going to buy some Draglites or something like that. My car is not very fast. All thats done to it is a cold air intake, H-pipe, Flowmaster catback, steeda short throw, and 3:73 grears. The reason I want to get some draglites is because of the 3:73 gears. I have 98 cobra rims on the car right now, but I dont want to run street slicks all the time.
My question is what size rims and tires should I get.I know that my car is not fast now, but I plan on making it faster down the road. I would like to run MT street slicks on the back. What size wheel and tire should I get? I love the way 315's look, but is that too big of a tire for my set-up? Will it even fit? Anyone with a 94 or 95 mustang that is running draglites or that knows what size's I should get please let me know what i should do.
Thanks
Ben

Ok thanks. Do you know if the BFG's are better than the MT's? Becuase im not going to be running them much I just want the best traction I can get, not to worried about the tread wear.
Do you know what size wheels on the front I should use? I plan on changing the wheels out when i go to the dragstrip or when i go mess around on like a friday night. I like the skinnies does anyone know what size wheel and tire I should get?

I have BFG's because I was driving the car daily, so I needed a streetable tire... MT's will ALWAYS hook better.

if your gonna run skinnies up front... go with a 165r15... its a old volkswagon tire

I saw the same thing with the rear bumper. My friend has a 94 cobra and his rear bumper only says mustang and I know his isnt a clone. I know alot of people that put the tail lights from the 96-98 mustangs on the 94-95 cars. It very well can be a real cobra, and not have cobra written in the bumper.... I think.....
