Default What Size/Brand Drag Radials

I bought a set of 17" BFG Drag Radials last year, and they really leave a lot of room in the wheel well that is translating into lost ET. What size/Brand are others using? I want to fill the wheel well as much as possible without rubbing. I have two sets of 17" pulloffs, but If I will get better performance I can always go with a different wheel, I just dont think you can go much smaller and still clear the brake caliper. Any advice?

You could always pick up a set of 16s from a V6. That would clear everything. If you go to 15s though you are going to have issues with the brakes and also with the rear sway arm.

As for a DR for 17s, couple I would recommend would be perhaps the M and H http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Or the Nitto 555R. ( didnt link the Nitto because they are pretty common, even Discount carries them )

This IntelliTXT stuff sucks.
