I don't know if going 15 inch would help or hurt . I am going to get Nitto's for my stock 16's . I have talked to a lot of guys at the drag strip and the ones that have this set up like them alot . The best 60' times I have got are 2.17 on my Firestones and I have seen some 60' times down into the 2.0 to 1.9 . on the Nitto's .

I have 255/50/16 BFG drag TAs mounted on my 92 rear Z28 rims(only for the track) and had 4 runs all being in the very low 1.9s (1.911 being the lowest that day). I have recorded a 1.903 run on BFG VR4 street tires before, usually Im in the high 1.9-2.0 range otherwise. Next time out I will disappointed if I dont grab 1.8 60fts. I can't say for sure with the Nittos but I have heard nothing but good things about them.
