Default 16" drag radials

I know there are some decent street tires but none will hold 400whp, does anybody make a 16" radial similar to bfg's?

That's as narrow of a wheel as you can get for that tire size.

that is roughly a 25 inch tall tire, 1.5-2 inches taller than stock. i used the tire size calculator and theres an 8.5 percent diameter difference roughly, its recomended to stay within + or - 3% but if these r for track use only u should be ok but you will have to raise your suspension up so they dont rub. if possible id stick with the bfgs 225/50/15, 1.7% diameter difference, i assume you want these for dual purpose street & drag and this size would be much more feasible and they may fit without having to raise your car
