    Is this a drag race only car, or will you also use it on the street?

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I'll leave this one to the drag race guys.  Most of the stuff I deal with is built to sit as low as possible with a tire that fits in the fender well.  You might try Dodgestang's website.  He has a chart showing possible wheel and tire sizes, and he is one that likes to stuff really big tires back there.

    You can see DodgeStang's chart that Mustang Steve referenced here.

    http://www.dodgestang.com/mustang.htm

    It looks like there are a couple on the chart running 275 width tires in the rear, but I'll let you read the chart for yourself.
