Tires
Tires Can't really gas my car in first gear now. Want to get some tires that will grab but that I can also drive on the street. Mickey Thompson has two kinds and BF Goodrich and Nitto have drag radials. Which ones are best. Also how big can I go without modifying the body.
Also considering bigger brakes soon. Will wheel size become a big issue?

i Have Nitto's out back right now, if i had to replace them i would go with the BFG's they are softer and stickier then my nittos, but there also going to wear faster.I dont have any experance with the M/T's so i wont coment on them.
I think if you have an 11" rim you can fit some 315's on the rear with no problem, though you may want an adjustible panhard bar to make sure they fit right

well there are really three brands out that on which are drivable under moddest conditions, i wouldn't recomend in snow or heavy rain, bfg softer, stickier, but wears faster, nitto great wear not as sticky though, and yokohama a little bit more expensive than the others but it has the best wear and is stickier than the nitto. im gonna get all i can from discount before i quit and those tires are gonna 2 of them.
As far as tire size, i saw in your other post that you were planning on using stock rims, if you still are then i think about the biggest tire you can safely run is a 255. With 10.5 or 11 inch rims you can fit 315s in the back, i only had to grind the edge of my bumpstop a little bit and they fit fine.
