Default Anyone run a 225/60/15 Drag radial?

Im going to be making 400+whp on the street and 500+ at the track but for the street I was wanting to get 225/60/15 drag radials or maybe even the new 235/60/15 m/t radials. Anyone know if they'll fit at all on a 90 civic hatch?

how much power are you pushing out? And are they 50's or 60's? How is traction. And this is in an EF also?

235 wont help much at a street tire pressure ... bfg's are only decent at 10-12 psi ... thats a lot of sidewall movement for a street tire ... its not fun or safe to drive trust me. But I hear m/t are a little better but still traction at 400-500 FWHP is not gonna happen. Here mid page is a 4th gen sedan with 235/60's

I ran my 225/50/15's 1 time at the track just as soon as my car was done and got an 11.91-11.98 all night for 5 runs ... they hook good at 10-12 psi and im sure i could have done better with more practice and runs. This was at 400 whp.

what size of wheel did you use and what offset? do you have any pics of the 225's on your car b20turboic? thanks

edit: overall how did the 225's work for street driving? is there a lot of rubbing in turns?
