Drag Radial confusion

[my98GST]

I'm wanting to put a set of drag radials on my stock GST wheels which are 6" wide. I've heard a lot of people complaining that the 225's are a bit big for the stock wheel. But with drag radials the smallest that BFG or MT make's is a 255 for a 16" wheel. Some have said it will work, some say it wont work. What do you guys think? Would a 255 DR work on the stock wheels?

you'de be pushing it, i would get an aftermarket set.

plus i don't know that it will fit without rubbing the suspension or the body without lug spacers

lots of people run that size tire on the stock wheels but i would sigguest getting a wider wheel when running the stock wheel you are changing the shape that is on the gound around the edges because the wheel is to narrow. Good luck.

See right nwo I have a set of Enkei 17's for my daily wheels but just have the stockers laying around... Could I put two DR's on the rear's and then rotate them when I get to the track to keep from wearing them down from the daily driving?

Depending on which drag radial you get it still wouldn't be a good idea to use it for daily driven because of the tread wear.
