Drag tires for stock wheels

Hey guys. I'm contemplating on picking up some drag radials for my Evo IX. I still have my stock wheels which i'll probably mount them up to. Just wondering what you guys are running. What size would be good for the stock wheels? I searched, but didn't come up with much. Thanks in advance

I would never recommend Nitto's for anybody because they don't hook FWD or RWD worth a ****. But 4 of em will hook and they'll last for a long while compared to others.

nittos SUCK! DO NOT RUN THEM! Watched VWJeff wheel hop and destroy the rear diff! $3k part!

I ran and no quite a few guys who run the bfg 225/45R17 and they work great! Hook awesome!

If you have a spare set of wheels, look into the M/T ET Drag Motorcycle slicks. 26/7/17
