What size wheel for Drag Radials?

What size wheels should fit my BFG drag radials? they're 255/50/16. I'm just gonna buy some cheapies off of summit. I have pony wheels. Should I just stick with the same size as that? 16x7?

I would go with the 16x9. I have 17x9's in the rear and front. I know that that's the biggest I can get in the front but I could go a little bigger in the rear. If you do go bigger then that, you'll have to some modifiying to the suspension and exhaust.

90LX - I just put my drag radials (same size as yours) onto my stock pony wheels. Sleeper look.

They fit nicely.

Thanx! I'm not planning to put them on my pony wheels, because i just got new street tires for them. I'll probably just order 2 16x7 wheels for them that I could switch on and off come the weekends. thanx!
