Default Time for Traction!!!

I have a 94 auto with a shot of nitrous, and ran an 11.95 yesterday. I am currently running a 315-35 GSC, and am considering switching to a 15 inch wheel with a drag radial, or would an ET Street be a better tire? My question is what size tire can I put on the 15in. wheel? Any suggestions on wheels?

Thanks :flag

Was looking on the SLP web site today, and saw that they have 16in Firebird take offs for 50 bucks each. Would these wheels fit on my car with no problems?

I run eather 325x50x15 BFG drag radials, or 28x13.5x15 ET. Streets
Anything in a 15" smaller thatthat will fit also.

QuickVet - The last time I ran it on motor, I ran a 13.4 and had a 1.9X sixty foot time.

TA - Thanks, I think that is the route I may take. :flag
