Drag radial Size
I wanted to buy them for next season. Should I stick to my standard 93 size? I think it's 17/9.5 or should I get wider tires? Someone on the forum is selling used 17/13.5 with the rims and the offsets, I was interested but I'm not sure if this is the way to go. I definitely plan on putting in the 3.54 gears, if that matters.

If you are staying with a stock converter.. you will be fine with BFG 315 x 17 Drag Radial onn 17 x11" . Thats what I'm using with a 2600 converter, & my 60 ' is 1.80

Dan, according to Mackey, you don't need more tire than what your car needs. In other words, if you aren't spinning with the 275's, there is no need to go with 315's.

Cool...you got me confused when you said 13.5 inch rims in your original post...that guy's post says 11 inch rims...his set would fit fine on your car... :D
