road racing wheel/tire sizes? hey i'm wanting to take my car around a racetrack a few times here and there and was wondering what kind of wheel/tire combo is good for that. i see that NASCARs use i think a 15'' rim with hi profile, but don't low pros stick good?? i'm a little confused...

nascar is still stuck in the 70's, but the best overall performing tire on an F body is the 275/40x17... i think nitto makes a 555 road race tire that has a stiffer sidewall...

hrm. well in that case i think i'm willing to sacrifice a little performance for the look of an 18'' rim. just looks perfect on an fbody with a low pro IMO...
