wanna run 15x5 front rims and was thinking drag style tires
just need to know what size would be effective? i have thosehooer headers where the last tube wraps around the frame rail so i can't go wide !! any ideas??? also need to know what back space should i use??

On 15x3's I used to run 165r 15's Cheap tires usually found on VW beetles...lol. Work great for track, poor on the street. They cant stop all that HP and weight. Depending on backspacing and height you want to go maybee some 195-75r15 if you can find them anymore or then 205-70's or 75's. Dunno with the headers though:Do No:

Mickey thompson and Hoosier make all different sizes in actual drag fronts though. call or ask tire shops. I used to work for Discount Tire CO. and we did all sorts of drag setups... seen all kinds of stuff
