Question Front/back tires drag race

Plan on running the telstar centerline wheels on the front 15x4s. Whats the tire size skinny that works best for drag raceing.Running pretty much a stock setup at this point. The car does see some street use hopeing to cure that this year though. Also on the back were running now the 255-50-16 mt et raidals.With the new telstar 15x8 what would be the best rear tire size with the stock 3.23 rears? Thanks in advance. Ya i did a search it came up confused here

Some good discussion about the front runners in this thread. https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...291&highlight=

With the 3.23 gears you want to stay with a 26" tire for the back. I run the MT radials in 275/50/15 but I'm not sure how they would work with an 8" rim.

The 275/50/15 MT radials work great on an 8" rim, see pics below...

Hey, I like that hard-top Camaro! I wish I didn't have the T-Tops on my Z28. I'm also local and on the OKGPM forum from time-to-time.
