These are 26" Drag Radials. Gives you an idea. The front tires are 30 or 31 inches tall.

This is a 8" rear wheel. The stock width will work ok but with such a short sidewall it certainly won't offer maximum traction.

Yea, here are 28" tall drag radials on all 4. Looks goofy but really improves performance:

I think it looks just fine. Only thing that looks goofy to me is the no center caps. How tall are the factory/DD tires you run?

Just over 32" tall (305-50-20). The drag radials are my poor mans 2 inch drop! As for the centercaps, I have them however never use them. Never saw the need to look pretty for the track.

I wouldn't call 4 DRs a poor mans drop.

Center caps are my biggest pet pieve. Personaly if it took an hour to install one center cap I would still do it event for the track. Just one thing I can't stand. Most other people don't see it as sinfull to leave them off.
