Been looking at Nitto and BFG. Not sure which. BFG cheap, Nitto's a little pricier. How big can I go on stock 20' rims? 255, bigger? What's everyone like? Thx Popcorn

275/45/20 is as big as I would go.. 245/55/20 (i think) is an excellent match if you want a thinner tire in the front to go with the 275's in the rear.

You'd have to see what's available, but I LOVED my BFG KDW T/A's for the track.. Knocked about 2/10's off my times and helped my reaction times drastically.. Excellent tire for the track, just not so much for shitty weather,

the only problem with bfg is they dont make much in our sizes. unless you want to run a 275/35/20.

Hmmm, I think I'll wait til next year to get some rears. I had a good launch the other night, but not consistant. I was practicing power breaking on launch and ran a 4.41 0-60. Couldn't get another one to save my life. Maybe a block on a string under the pedal, lol.
