Re: What size BFGs (stalker)
Hey Stalker-are thems steel wheels? They look badass w/ the black face of the tire and the dark colored car...Maybe I ought to try some steelies out back with some drag radials when I take the car (finally...) to the strip.

Re: What size BFGs (tshort)
Just a thought the 275 60 15 give you an 8.8 inch tread width with a section width of 11.1 and a dia of 28 inches. The 275 50 15 give you a 10 inch tread and a section of 11.3 but a 26.1 diameter. The 50 series gives you more contact with the track and a little shorter for more gear ratio. the section width is about the same so neither should rub. If I was going to use them for the track mainly I would go with the 275 50 15s. Seems like you should get more bit and a little better gear ratio.

Re: What size BFGs (Gordonm)
like gordon said aaron,what size rear tires do you have now?the 275/60's like i have are 28 inch tall,they give me more mph but less gear for off the line,if your looking to give up some gear then go for it,but if not then 255/60 might be better.another rain out for the challenge,is the rain ever gonna stop.
