Ok so my car needs drag radials because it just spins the shit out of the street tires but I cant seem to find them in a size I want. My stock tires are 225/55/16’s and Id really prefer the DR’s to be around that size, maybe a little wider. The problem Im having is that I cant find DR’s with a 55 height. Im finding 245/50/16’s but I dont want the front tires being smaller than the rears. Im planning on keeping the DR’s on most of the time since I dont drive the car much anyway. I sold the 15" DR’s I had because the wheels didnt match and I got an offer I couldnt refuse on them (thanks John). I want all 4 wheels to match and Im not changing the size of the front tires (cant afford to and dont want to). Any idea where I can find what I need? Ive already tried Ebay, Jeg’s, Summit, Discount Tire and a few others. ---

just get the 245 50s, they are almost the same diameter as a 225 55. They are actually .1 in. smaller. ---

Id really rather not have them smaller at all though. Also it would look stupid having 225/55’s on the front and 245/50’s on the rear if anybody looked at the sizes. ---

The 245/50 Nittos drag radials are 25.67’’ OD just like the 225/55/16’s are. You’ll be fine! ---

How does a wider rear look stupid? :lol And who cares if they look at the tire sizes, as long as it looks good on the car fuck it. I ran 245/45/17 with 275/40/17 and it looked perfect. ---

And what about the Nitto Nt555r’s? Good tire or junk? It seems to be between them and the BF Goodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial Original Tread’s. The Nitto’s are $30 cheaper. ---
