Default Nittos

I need to get a pair of nittos for 2 of my 16in pony rims for this track day. Which size and were should I go to get them? If I am not mistaken, they are 16X8 (maybe 8.5) can somebody confirm?

Thanks

94 up ponies are 16 x 7.5


the biggest nitto that fits is the 245/16


id get bfg's because you can get them in a 255/16 -- a little wider, and i hear the bfg's are better....

I think you have it backwards. the bfg tires are the ones that suck in the rain, but they do hook better at the track.
