Default which tires would you run?

I am about to order some drag radials and want to get some peoples opinions on size I should run... I am torn between 315/35/17 mickey thompson's and 325/45/17 M&H drag radials. I run on an 1/8th mile track and currently am at 420 rwhp (no nitrous yet) and 3.42's (soon to be 4.11's and a 9 inch)

What would you run?

i am not sure but i think you can only go 315 wide with the right rim.
I know some that rub and some that dont it depends on the offspace of the rim

Right now I'm running Nitto 555R 315/35/17's. Next set I think I'm gonna try the BFG's or MT's cause I'm not putting nearly as many mile son her anymore . Happy with the size though.
