Default tires for the drag strip?

alright my 60 foot times suck haha im gettin a spec stage 3 clutch and i need something to hook up a little better. i have nitto nt555's right now. dont know what i should put on the backs if i should stick with them or try and fit some nt555r's out back in like 295's, stock ws6 wheel so i dont know if i would have an advantage or a wider look with the 295's. or i was thinking about gettin some new ws6 rims, just 2 of em, and i was thinkin about putting some bfg dr's on there. but i still have the stock rear end so i dont want something too abusive on it. just have most of the bolt ons, gonna try and do the rest here soon. any ideas on this? thanks

I'm not sure what it's called but when you take off your rear wheels, that rubber stopper that keeps you inner fender from bottoming out on your rear end housing, you know it has two screws that hold it onto you inner fender, I had to shave off about 1/4 inch from the side that faces out. The aluminum spacer too, and you might want to bend in part of that inner fender with a rubber mallot, to avoid the risk of slicing the inner part of your tire. It's not that much trouble, and it's well worth it too.
