DOT drag radial for GNX wheel
Any suggestions for a good drag radial that fit the 16 inch gnx wheel without rolling my fender?

Do a search on here & you'll find that most everyone feels that the "BEST" DR is the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials...They come in 255/50/16...If you want a "GOOD" DR & need more than 5,000 miles out of them, I'd go with Nitto's 245/50/16's. I personally use the Mickey Thompsons & they are awseome!!! I'm on my second set...first set lasted me approx. 5,000 miles....

FWIW, I have the M&H's mounted on regular GTA fronts (16x8) with no rolled lip. On the street I run a 3/8" spacer to push the tire further out into the GNX flare and have never had the DRs rub on the street. This last time back from the track when I pulled off the wheels to put the spacers back on, there was a small area of paint rubbed off on the frame from the tire, but nothing too bad and it was only on the drivers side.
