Ok I drive a 2004 rsx making 460whp on pump and 650whp on race gas and want to get a bfg radial for the street. As far as sizing goes Im pretty limited. Im trying not to totally mess up my scrub radius so I dont want to go too wide. Im looking at the following sizes:

Size diameter rim size
225/50/15 23.9 15x7
235/60/15 26.1 15x7
255/50/16 26.1 16x8
225/45/17 25 17x8

Now a problem also arises with the 26.1 diameter tires in that they might not fit. There hasnt really been much rsxs test fitting all these tires and determining what fits and I really dont want to be the quinea pig. Im really leaning towards the 225/45/17 combo but think a 225 isnt wide enough for the power Im making. Any help into what size I should get would be greatly appreciated

im in the same situation man,,, I couldnt find ANY BFG drag radials for a 16" rim unless they are 245/55/16 and that may be TTOOOO TTOO Big .....

Imma keep searching but best best is 15" rims possibly...

 

Only tire they make for a 16 is 255/50/16 but it's a 26.1 inch diameter tire. Not only will I be destroying transmissions quicker, they might not even fit. So really its whether I want to go with a 225 in 15 or 17 inch rim...this sucks. Wish they had a 245 for a 17 inch rim

 

haha, yeah my trannies explode too!!

I wanan find a 215/45/16 drag radial ? ?

 

Ok so my options now are:

Brand Size Diameter Rim
BFG 225/45/17 25 17x8
MT 245/40/18 25.8 18x8.5
MT 205/40/17 23.5 17x8
MT 225/40/15 24 15x7

Should I go with a BFG or MT? Will a 15x7 or 17x8 both with a 225 give more traction? One has more sidewall while the other is an inch wider. Any help would be appreciated.
