A wheel/tire question

[dsmtbopwr]

I have stock 16" swirlies on some all season tires, but now that I bought some coilovers I wanna get somewhat better rims and tires for the summer season for better traction and looks. Then ill switch back to my other 16" swirlies when snow come around again.

Some things to point out:

*My car is daily driven

*It is more of a street car then track. 90% of the time will be street.

*Straight line car, so no auto x or anything.

For the rims I was thinking budget wise some GSX wheels. And as for tires I wanted drag radials or some other type of tires.

So my question is what are the BEST size tires I should get with the GSX wheels and what drag radials or other type of tire do you guys recommend?

Are you referring to the 17x6.5" GSX wheels? If so a 225/45/17 will fit and give you the most width. If your car sees 90% street duty I would look into a set of nice performance tires instead of the drag radials. Here is thread with some more info: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/handling-tech/354940-215-50-17-vs-225-45-17-oem-gsx-wheels.html.

If you are dead set on DRs I think a set of 16" wheels would give you more options. Then you could look around for either 26x9.5x16 or 225/50/16. Here's some more info on that: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/handling-tech/386626-what-size-drag-radial-slick.html.
