BFG DragRadials on 18" Polished Bullitts?
Whats the best size I can put on my stock 18" rims? I don't even know if mine are 18x8 or 18x18.5. But they were on there from ford when I bought the car.
I saw this on BFG's website:
BFGoodrich Tires Adds Six 18-Inch Sizes To g-Force T/Aâ„¢ Drag Radial Line
BFGoodrich® Tires has added six 18-inch sizes to its g-Force T/A® Drag Radial line, the latest generation of the industry's first street-legal tire for drag racing.
The six new sizes include: P245/40R18, P265/40R18, P275/35R18, P295/35R18, P315/30R18 and P345/30R18. With the new sizes, the g-Force T/A Drag Radial lineup now offers 13 dimensions, including three 14-inches, two 15-inch, two 17-inch and the six 18-inch sizes.

Anyone tried these? What size is the best?
I am thinking 275/35/18 but aren't these going to be pretty low profile? I have 235/50/18's now! I am not a tire expert & know that some of you guys are!
Thanks so much!

RE: BFG DragRadials on 18" Polished Bullitts?
The tire size you are looking at are 1.7 inches shorter than your stock height, so yes, you will be getting a noticably lower profile tire.
As to which tire is best.. I am not certain, but I believe with Drag Radials, the wider is better, and there is little flex when compared to an actual slick, so having a lower profile should not hurt as much..
295/35's might be the best choice, as it will not lover your profile too much (only 1.2") and will give you a little more footprint.
Good info thou'.. thanks!

If you have a 18x10 inch wheels on all 4 corners you can put 265-40-18 on the front
295-35-18 on the rear
Enjoy your BFG DR's...
