What tires and wheels for 600whp?
I'm currently running 18 275s on the front and 19 305/30/19s on the back with nitto invo tires. The car doesn't hook well at all in first gear right now. And here in a few weeks i will have t trim, blower cam, meth etc added to it.
I drive my car on the street 90% of the time I was thinking about something along the lines of a ccw drag pack with 16" wheels. Not so sure how this setup would be on the street though.

What kind of wheels are you guys running?
I'm thinking about trying some 26/11.5/16 et streets in the back with ccw drag pack and skinnys up front. Not sure how this will be on the street though I like straight line speed not worried about handling. It's not a DD and doesn't see rain.

I like my nt05r's, I have 19" ccw's and c6z brakes so I can't run a drag pack anyway and don't really plan on putting big tires on it... mt et street 2's or r888's would be another good choice if you want to keep running your current wheels

Im running a 305/35/19 NT05R Rear with a Sumi ZIII 275/40/18 front.
The nitto hook pretty well for me at 715 but I think the mickey or more sidewall and smaller rim would help.
I do like the look of it however
When I was 600 rwhp i ran the 295/45/17 Mickey and would dead hook just about anywhere which was nice but it was a bit tall.
