Default What should i do for drag radials?

Hey again. Well i am debating on what to do for drag radials. I have 18" privats on the car now, im getting new fuzion ZRis for it anyday for a nice street tire. Anyway i also have my stock 16x8 rims. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to put DR's on them or not. I think that it would be good since they are jsut laying around, but they are only 8" wide. I could only go with a like 245 tire correct? I also live in Michigan and am not sure what i am going to do i n the winter yet. I may drive it and put the stock rims on with all seasons or i may store it in my dads garage and get something else for the winter to drive. Dads a car dealer so i would jsut drive something on his lot and sell it at the end of the year, No big deal. So do you think i should put DR's on the stockers? WHat size and kind, i dont want to break my 10 bolt yet but do plan on going stall, LTs and LS6 intake soon. Or should i look for some different rim or what? Thanks a lot.
