Default CCW Drag Pak

I am looking to purchase a CCW drag setup. It would be skinnies in the front and BFG drag radials in the back. Radials all the way around. What size combo are you guys running?

Really? I thought guys running this setup would be running wider tires out back
I've never run anything better than drag radials, I'm just suprised thats all it takes for some of the great times I've seen run.

People aren't running wider tires than that? I have my stock 16's from my '94 Formula that I can put 255's on. I would think we'd want more tread than that.
