What year and style is your car? What size rims do you have?

Forget about it. You will smoke off any street tire with a strong combination, doesnt matter how wide they are. Stick with whatever fits and looks good.

Its a 1990 Mustang GT..i just have my stock 15inch turbines on it now. Do you think it would be a good idea to just leave these wheels w/my Hoosier GT's for the street and what I am really looking for is some tires for the track. I thought about buying a set of rims a tires for the track but I dont have any idea what will fit under it without any rubbing problems.

I'd be surprised if you could go any wider than 245 series. You can gain about 3/4" if you take your quad shocks and flip them around for added clearance.
