you MAY have to grind brakes down to fit 15's...i guess it really depends on the wheel. But are you looking for a SLICK SLICK? as in "track only..not even legal on the streets" or a drag radial? previous question could be answered by asking first tho>>how much power you making?

id say radials with your current power levels. and slicks if you go over 400. Me personally, im probably gonna with radials and i am over 400hp. Obviously not the best option for traction but way better than street tires lol

At 290 whp you could prolly run a 23 inch m and h. But if you are expecting more power in the near future then I would go with a 24.5x8.5x15 m and h.
