Pic request: 225/45/17 tires on civics/integras
I'm looking to order some drag radials for my coupe (it's on 17x7.5" Volk GT-P's), and the 205/40/17 BFG's are just too small. I'm looking to step up to the 225/45/17 BFG's, and I'm wondering if anyone has pictures of them mounted on a civic or integra. 
Thanks in advance!

205/40-17 is perfect. Especially for drag racing, in which 225/45-17 is not only too big (and will probably rub), but it will also reduce your rate of acceleration in each gear.

Currently, I have 205/40/17's up front, and 215/40/17 tires in the back. The 205/40/17 tires looked stretched out on the rim, whereas the 215/40/17's fit the wheel perfectly.
I don't care about rubbing, I just want TRACTION! Keep in mind, you're talking to a guy who used to roll like this:

Then you're using rims that are too wide. Get the right size tires and rims for the car. Don't make a mistake getting rims that are too wide, then compound it with another mistake to try to undo the first one.
