Default tire sizes

ok well...
i am gonna get some drag tires for the r/t that i can put on the front of the car when i take it to the track.... now the thing is that i wanna get them for my 14's instead of the 17's....and i want them to be bfg g-force t/a drag radials....however the only sizes i can find that MIGHT fot are:
205/50-14
and
215/60-14
any idea if either of these sizes would work o.k.???
im usually pretty good at finding compatible sizes for my car, but i dont know how dragradials are
of course they also have 205/40-17's but then i would have to get 2 more srt4 rims for the car too[&:]

As long as the wheel has a 40mm offset, then you are good. I have also heard that some people don't like them. Not very sticky.

I don't see the problem. You clearly don't care about the speedo, right?

im not planning on using the drag radials for normal driving....only at the track...i plan on having another set for regular driving and just gonna throw the drags in the trunk....

if the bfg's are no good, any idea of some that are???? i really dont wanna spend a small fortune on tires that are just gonna be used a few times[&:]

For everyday driving a 15" wheel is the best for handling.
