I am getting some tires strictly for the track. BFG DRag Radials. Which size should I get?

215/60/R14 Increased gearing and wider.

205/50/R14 even more increase in gearing, but not as wide.

I am thinking the 205/50/R16 because it should give be even better acceleration.

Here's the link:

you mean 205/50/R14? They make a 225/50/16 i think for the Drag T/A's, same size, but wider than stock, and can be used on stock wheels. worth a shot i guess?

Hope this works

This should give you some insite on what you should get. Personally I'd go with the 215/60/14 tires. after reading the link you'll know why.

Guess it was a 255/50/16, way too tall IMO, they do make a 225/45/17, which would work if you had some super lightweight 17's.

I have the 215/60/14s and I love them. Shoot me an email and I'll get you a price quote on them.

sorry, Damn I need an edit button. I got confused with my stock 16's.

To clarify I want to mount these tires on 14" STEELIES!!!
