Default Tire size & N2o??

I figured i would ask here, sence its track related, right now i'm running 255/50/16 Hoosier DRs, there about 25.8" tall, i have 4.11s & trapping @ 115 in 4th. (M6), the rev. limiter is set @ 6200, according to the calculator, i'm @ 6100 at that speed with 4.11s in 4th., so i'm thinking of (when the time comes) stepping up to a taller tire, i'm looking at the ET streets, either the 27", or the 27.6" on 15" rims, will this kill off any 60ft. on the juice?

it should help hook the car with a bigger tire and being on a 15inch rim IMO

Lets put it this way, that 1.8 60 foot in your sig with the larger 27" tire will be in the 1.5's easy. As long as you have some shocks and some other suspension peices.

Thats cool, i'm just wondering if i can get some 15x8" steels, then i'll have a choice between the 27" or 27.6" ETs, keeping my 16" salad shooters, i can only get 26.2" or 28", no in-between, what stock 15" rims will fit on these cars??
