You are gonna need 275/50/15 for your prostars.. The 255s will be too skinny.

My tread pattern is not the same as the ones pictured in this thread.
They don't make the 17" DRs in the "new" (the one in the pic, and on the OP's car) tread pattern, (unless BFG just released it in those sizes). You have the "old style" tread pattern.

Def badass
BFG radials are awesome, my bro pulls a wheelie like that with his 430rwhp car with 16" rear 17" front ZR-1's. Not near as hard as 18" rim though. Slap on some skinnies and you'll really get some air.

I finally had some time to look into this .. and you're right! I have the older style tread pattern.

I've since been looking for an alternative ... not many WIDE sticky options for 17" rim

yeah, it is hard to find a good wide tire for these sizes, trying to find one in an 18 is even harder

If you could, take pics from all around while you're at it. Side shots, straight on rear shots, line of sight down the side pics (head on and down from the top). It'd be greatly appreciated.

Whats the best BFG drag radails for a 17 in rim? I was thinking about a 275 or maybe 285, with like a middle side wall, like a 40?

Very Impressive...Just my opinion, but it looks like the gap between slicks and DR is getting slimmer by the day. 10 years ago you'd never have thought you'd see somebody pull the front tire on a 18" DR.

Just wish I'd chosen these instead of nitto's. From what I hear BFG's hook better, but Nitto's last longer on the street.
