opinions on wheels/tires
So I won the RX motoring contest for free wheels. Pretty cool. But heres the deal, I get to pick any rim/wheel combo for 2500.
The wheels will go on my 500+ hp(i hope) teg.(https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/d...uild-pics.html)
I want the tires to be good for hooking and mabey alright to look at but traction is more important. I have slicks for the track so looking for some decent street tires.
So my question is what size rim?
I am thinking 15's but they seem pretty small.
And what tire? I want nittos but do not see any D/R's that will fit.
I found these bfg r1's(BFGoodrich Tires | g-Force⢠R1⢠| Tire Overview) that look good but not sure how they would be for daily driving?
what would you do. And I know its my car, and I ultimatly will do what I want but am looking for advice from more experienced folks. Thanks a bunch in advance.
So far my fav rims or Volk Time attacks, 15x7.
Big Props to RX for the awsome xmas gift.

Can you buy welds/Mickeys ? lol
I'd get some TE37's VOLK makes a 13X8 for drag package stuff and some 15X7 rears
or just get sosme 225/50/15 BFG GForce TA Drag Radial or if you can Mickey Thompson makes a 225/50/15 ET Drag Radial that hooks a little better ..
Get the tires and then pick the wheels lol

yea i am sold on the time attacks. 13s? the smallest time attacks i can find are 15x7's.
The mickey thompsons that i think will fit would be 3752R P235/60R15
the bfgs that i think will fit are R1's P225/50ZR15 - But will these hold up for driving around? will i get 5-10k miles out of them?
the other bfg's i like are g-force T/A Drag radials - P225/50R15
what do i get for rear tires? do i get 17's and some normal tires?
Thanks a bunch gentlemen.

M/T makes a 225/50/15 ET Radial I have them , trust me ...
15" all the way around or you can get the 255/50/16 M/T ET Radials if you want real traction but getting those to clear is going to suck lol
Just get some 15X7 all the way around
