i dont think 15s will fit either unless you shave the caliper and i would just go with falken azina RT-615s oh and how much power are you putting down with the supercharger and what kit do you have jackson? comptech?

those tires are not optimal drag racing tires. the sidewalls are EXTREMELY stiff, which will induce more wheelhop. drag racers usually run very low psi's in their tires to prevent wheel hop.

on the other hand, those are amazing tires for road racing and auto crossing.

but yes, i dont think u can go any smaller than 16".

well i wouldn't use spacers unless your going to get extended studs because that could be dangerous if your on the track

also, they're made of steel, which should be a heavier metal than what the stock wheels are made of.
