well brandon, when we go to ATCO (you gotta tell me this time) we'll see what you run. we'll also finally once and for all get a base on what my car is gonna run. haven't run it yet and am wanting to so badly. but at ATCO and with your fsvt rims/tires, i'm sayin you run a 14.7.

I'm running the 16in stock rims(205-55-16). One of the tires is without tread it is a bridgestone but no better than an H rating. The other tire has alot of tread left. It is a futura. I should have ran with my 17in fsvt rims and the tires that are on there. I'm looking into 225-50-16 right now. Any suggestions? My buddies say Nitto 555r.
Also have a look at Kumho VictoRacer V700's, Yokohama A032R's and if you're using them just for the drags, and not everyday, the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial or the g-Force T/A KD if they're daily drivers. They all have great traction.
If you're using a seperate set for racing then consider going down to a 15x7" rim and running 225/50/15's. You can reduce your unsprung weight significantly.

Do NOT get the V700's or A032R's, they are autox tires and are not meant to be dragged on. They will not grip a whole lot better in a straight line then a street tire. Plus as you heat cycle them they will lose more and more grip. Get some drag radials. They are meant for drag racing.
I agree on getting some 15x7 rims.

Thanks for correcting my mistake Qbert.  
Trying to do too many things at once and not paying enough attention to any of them
