I'm looking at buying a pair of 255/50R16 drag radials for my stock wheels. Anyone have any pictures of a side view of their car where both front and rear wheels can be seen?

I have 245/50R16s on the front now, will the 255s change the stance of the rear any?

I don't want the stance to look goofy or odd with 2 different tires in the front and back. So I just wanted to see if anyone else is running a setup like this and has pictures of their tires on the car so I can get a general idea.

Thanks

Car will be driven on the weekends to and from the track with some passes while at the track.

I can say i had 17" rims on the back with 315 i moved to 285 when i put my 18" on and to be honest i can not tell a difference on such a low number, now i can tell a difference between 275 and 315

16's would look goofy with 315 i would go with 275 or something meatier in back since they are 16's all around for a stance

Would 275's fit on a stock 16x8 wheel?

I had 255/50/16 put on all 4 corners of my car. I couldn't tell any difference. The tire height of the 245 is about 25.6" and the 255 is 26". Less than .5" difference. I hope this helps.

Was your tachometer off at all or is the difference to small to affect anything?

Face palm. You mean speedometer? No, you won't notice anything. 255 drag radial or bias ply is 26x10.5, fits great on 16x8.

I have 255/50-16 on all four corners as well, and except for a slight sidewall height difference, you cannot tell (but it DOES fill the wheel wells a little better than the 245/50-16s).

I have a Diablosport Predator, so I just changed the overall diameter of the tire in the PCM to take care of the speedometer reading.

My bad, I missed that one. Thanks for the catch.

When I go to the track, I use my stock 245/50/16 on the front rims and 255/50/16 MT DR's on the rear. I'm attaching pics. My DD duty rims are 18' C5 Z06 rims...

Here's a BFG street tire in 255/50/16



This is the best one I have of my M/T 255/50/16



I'm taking the car out in a little bit, I'll try to get a close up of the M/T. You can tell it looks bigger,I like the slight bulge.

I run my drag radials in a 255/50/16 on stock 5 spokes and they look just a tiny bit bigger on the sidewall. There is not really much of a difference.
