The issue is i need a tire that can go on a 15 or 16" wide rear wheel that wont look terrible and is speed rated for over 200mph. Ive noticed most "street" tires only go to 345, the Veyron has a set of 365's but i need something even wider then that. Tire choices will really be the deciding factor on what size wheels i go with. Trying to run 210-220mph in the car.
are you sure you will hit 220 in the standing mile with an f2 blower? you will propably need the first 1000 horses just maintaining that speed... and the time you have to accelerate not an awefull lot when you are running that high a speed.. remember to accelerate to twice the speed on the same distance, you need eight times the horsepower (to the ground) NOT counting drag....
