Question Wheels and tyre's, 1/4 mile setup
I have some 15in x 6in wheels and want to fit the widest road legal tyres i can

Would 225 or 235 be ok as i said its only going to be used for 1/4 mile so no corners

When I was looking into my drag set up BFGoodrich quoted you can go up to 225 on a 6j rim, but 235 is too far. Hope this helps.
