Default Need Some Advice

I'm currently in the process of upgrading my 2000 Trans Ams drive train to hit the strip next summer. I'm in a little of a hole when its coming to getting tires and I'm not sure on which route to take. I want to be able to fit the widest tire I possibly can without having to do any modifications to the wheel wells. 315's maybe? Now I want to be able to also drive the car on the street as well. I was looking to put drag radials on the rear of the car like the Nitto nto5r's. What tires should I put on the front of the car if I have drag radials on the rear? I still want to be able to have a really good handling car on the street.

oh and i dont think 315s will fit without any modification.... i think you will have to roll the fender to fit 315s... i run NT05 295s on the back of my car and didnt have to do any modifications!
