Hi superacrodis,

You don't need more tire you needbetter tires and to correct your rear suspension IC which you screwed up by lowering the car. Weld-ina set of Steeda LCA relocation brackets. Steeda,not BMR andabsolutelynotsomenoname Chinese junk. You wantthe Steedaweld-in's NOTBMR bolt-ins or ANYbolt-in. You wantthe Steeda LCA relocation brackets for their most adjustment options available. The BMR weld-insare a distant second because they lack adequate adjustment locations in their bracket so you have a much lower chance ofachivingthe LCA position you want or need to get the most out of the chassis. You also need to realize thaton a hard launchas at a drag strip you need to loosen up the rear dampers and firm up the fronts to help transfer weight to the rear axle better.

HTH!

Toyo would be a 295/30/20, But Nitto I think just came out with a 295/35/20. I'm not sure what wheels your running but offset comes into also. I have 20x8.5(front) 20x10(rear) Foose wheels and Toyo's and 255/35/20 (front) and 295/35/20 (Rear)

I found the toyo T1R 305-30-20 at discount wheels warehouse. Dont you think the 305-35-20 would be to tall? I am lowered 1 1/2
I am also going to buy the LCA relocation brackets, wantas muchtraction as I can for the street. Just cant take off as hard as I want right now.I have drag radails for the track.

What tire's you guy using on the street that hook real good other than drag radails

That's a tight fit, JMO I dont think you will be happy in the long run. If you have anybody in the back good chance your going to rub or take a corner to hardalso a good chance of rubbing.
