For S13 (4x114.3). I'm planning to buy some drag radials (I guess DOT-approved) so want to find 2 disks 15x7 or 15x8.What would you suggest?

I have some on order right now, 4 brand new wheels for like $320. They are custom so get your measurements thought up, I could give you the measurements I'm using for my order if you want.

205/50/15 Falken Azenis Sport RT-215 is what I run on my 15x6.5. Another option is 205/60/15 from damn near anybody.

You have to keep your eyes peeled on eBay. I got a set of forged Manaray wheels that are so rare it hurts for $300 + shipiing.

Sorry under "tire" I meant drag slick, DOT-approved slick and so on... Need to get good traction at 1/8 mile events.And, after reconsidering my budget, I ended up with conclusion I will have to use stock 15x6 wheels this season... So need to find something sticky to fit these rims

So far the only acceptable option I found is BFGoodrich 235/60-15 and 225/50-15

See, you need help and you can't even give us all the info to help us JK. Not sure who is going to be able to help with the drag tires.

Anybody here actually drag race?

I just started to research all this so my questions might not be 100% correct and precise So, as I said, I need tires for dragracing to stick onto stock 15x6 rims

dude , if you are going for drag racing then i'd suggest wheels much wider the 15x6 even with slicks you wont be able to fit anything bigger than 205 or maybe pushing it with 215. so maybe if you want to drag race, you should invest in some wider wheels and tires maybe something arount 265 or maybe even 275 to get some decent traction specially if you are running some major HP to the rear wheels.

Unfortunately all my budget spent on motor rebuild... Nothing left for rims I think I can put on 225/50-R15 BFGoodrich or M/T ET Streets 26x10.5x15. Won't it be enough for 250-270rwhp?
