radial TA's come in just about every size you can think of. But they dont go really low profiile. I put a set of 265x15x60's on the back of a 88 mustang if i remember on centerline 15x8's, Man they were tall tires almost 28 inches if i remember.

If you go to a lot of tire or rim sites they usually give you a recommended tire width per rim. Im guessing your looking for straight line traction.

I've got a set of nitto DR's i just got mounted on factory mustang 16" rims 245's

Hitting nitto's site for the drag radial sections shows 2 sizes for 15" rim

Height Rim size rpm per mile
P275/60 R15 107V 6.3 27.76 11.10 7.5-(8.0)-9.5 2150@44 748
P275/50 R15 101V 6.3 25.75 11.18 7.5-(8.5)-9.5 1830@44 808

I have a set of 245x16's, Yeah they arent huge and i would like bigger, but i love the sleeper look. I tested them out and it's crazy the improvement over some cheap 245 Futura's that were on my car when i bought it. I've already burned them up in 2 weeks. I've ran BF goodrich Drag radials 10 years ago and im very impressed with these nitto's.
