if you run something big on an 8 inch rim your basically defeating the purpous, the tire will start to cup and youll be laying down a smaller patch than you would with a smaller tire

Ok. Would it be better to run my street tires or go with the 275 MT's on and 8 in? Those are my 2 options.

Is the car a daily driver, or does it only come out on nice days? If it sits in the garage most of the time, go with DRs, but if you drive it every day, well, do a search for wrecked cobra drs. Those 3 terms (maybe two, since DRs might not work) will pull up so many threads where people wrecked in the rain on drag radials that your head will spin.

If its literally just to go to the track you're probably still better off with the DR's, just keep in mind you're not getting a full contact patch out of them.
