if you are considering drag radials, why not just use a set of ap1's and throw some on them?

im also looking at
17x7.5 in front with a +45
17x8.5 in the rear with a +50

however then i'm told to run a 245/40 in the rear so that wouldn't be an advantage would it?

kumho vistoracers are 50 treadwear, tons of grip but still a good handling tire.

Would my stock AP1 wheels fit 245/45-16 rears? I keep on reading that people who run this size have 16x8 rears. Isn't stock AP1 rear wheels 16x17.5?

Thanks!
