I was referring to front tire diameter not rear! This car can run 7's in 1/8 no problem . I have a mustang w/ Turbonetics thumper 2000hp so I know cars just asking some input so I dont have to do as much trail and error.

I think I was able to figure out ur question; you prolly want to start w/ a 24.5 X 8.5 slick for the times you are running. If we knew your power and drivetrain combination might be able to help you more here. As for suspension, put 1000lb springs in the back so it doesn't squat.
