Default Biggest Tire on 15x7 Tire stock struts?

All stock suspension, have 15x7 rims that are 35mm offset, but still need a 5mm spacer to clear the brake calipers. So I would be running those spacers with the rims.

Looking for a drag radial that would fit, can you guys help me out?

the M&H is the only 235/60-15 that fits reliably on stock suspension. Most are too tall. You need to pull the actual dimensions to see what fits. 25.6" tall is really the maximum you can use.

I ran the mickey thompson et streets in 235/60/15 on stock struts with a 2" drop, if not more. They're 26.1" tall and they fit. I used 15x7 kosei k1's.

I'm pretty sure my next tire will be 26x10.5x15 or 16. I do have coilovers now.

How did those hook?? Did you run them just on the street or the track?

More street than anything but I made a few passes at the track on them. They're far better than a street tire or a bfg drag radial. I still spun them from a 2nd gear roll but that was making over 400whp. If you want the best traction, you're gonna want a bias ply tire which is why I'm planning to do 26x10.5 bias ply et streets or m&h's soon.

how do bias handle for daily driving? I assume they are a bit sloppier cornering and have a harder overall ride, no?

It would be a mix between a slick and a radial. I wouldn't say the ride would be hard, considering its a soft tire with no steel belts, but yes the handling part would be affected a good bit considering they're basically a wrinkle wall slick. The et street would by far be the better if you're gonna drive it a lot, but if you can drive with caution, then the bias ply will be the way to go. I've driven on my 26x8.5 slicks and skinnies on the rear quit a few times. That can be a handfull to drive if you aren't careful, but with caution, it is controllable.

ET Streets come in bias and radial, so I suppose you would still recommend the ET Street radial?

Ive tried BFG and Nitto, both spun even on stock turbo in 2nd. I want a 2nd gear hook

Yeah the et streets I had were the radials. They handle great. With about 20psi in them, you forget they're even up there to be honest. You still need to drive with caution around turns obviously and do your best to stay out of rain, but overall they're a great mix between traction and drivability. My bfg drs spun all of second gear on stock turbo as well with a measly 240whp/280tq. I dunno how people hook on those but I had terrible luck with them. If you heat the et streets up good, run low air pressure, and have good suspension, you MAY get them to hook from a 2nd gear roll with 400+whp, but that's a maybe. I'll be happy with something that hooks in 3rd.
