right now on 65 i run nittos drags 225/50r-16 on torque thrusts 16 by 8 or 7 (cant remember) rims.car is lowered one inch in front with 600lb magna coils and five leaf reverse eyes in rear.i had to roll fender lips and add support brace to front fender (bottom front)to keep tires from rubbing.well,i loved the gripping power of the nittos (cornering and holeshot)but,they were shortlived.seems with the 225/50r-16 i am real limited on tire selection dont want to go any narrower or shorter,but could i go a tad taller or wider?please tell your experiances.http://forums.screamandfly.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=370489
