Where can I find these two online? I looked at Tirerack for the BF Goodridge, but they don't have a listing for 16"

will the 255/50/16s fit my rims nicely, and still not rub? They are the only ones for 16s that I see on the BFG site.

Since they are over 26" in diameter, they WILL rub. The 255/50/16 Drag Radial is for Camaro/Trans Am/Vette.

The stickiest tire I can get in a 205/40-16 is the A520..threadwear 180

I have the 555R's, and my opinion is I think that it's all marketing, as they give you a 205-45/15, which will change your gearing, hence you will have better acceleration, the best 60 ft time I had with them was a high 2.1XX.

BFG g force drag radials.
They wear REALLY quick, but they hook pretty good.

Ha ha, very funny ...track conditions matter with the 60 ft times, compared to the other cars at Sears Point I was hitting pretty good times, my average times were 2.22-2.30, which netted me 14.50-14.55 all day long on a semi-stock Type-R.

why in 16"?

Use 15" at the very least!

Or if you are serious, go to 13" Should be good for .2 over the 15" slicks and less stress on the drivetrain, tranny, and axles..... (yeah you'll need to run different brakes up front but you can swap them out in a couple hours.)
