Anyone have recommendations for real drag radials?
Size and type. Leaning towards Mickey Thompson’s

The ET street SS are pretty good tires, and hook hard up at about 14 pounds otherwise I run them at 30 pounds on the street.

Just make sure you check the offset.

Trying to figure out what size 15” will fit best on mine
I have a stock width Stange 12 bolt with the 15x10 7.5” bs
Either 275, 295, or 325?

275/50 is 26” tall. 275/60 is 28” tall. Lowered on the 275/60 will fill out the fender wells nicely. You might be able to fit a 295/50 or 55 but probably have to roll the fenders. I’ve always had a 275/50 or 60 on these cars

I run 295/55r15 and like the way they fill out the wheel well. 275s just look to damn skinny imo.

Do you have a pic of your set up?
I have a line on 295-65-15”
Did you have to modify anything?
