Im looking at a pair of Draglite XP's and was wondering what size tires most people run on them. Thanks

Waste of money. Those rims are just as heavy as a pair of stock 16" rims. Do like mark and get some takeoffs and mount some slicks on them. If youre going for the look, go 15s. To answer your question, many run 275s on a 8" rim.

no matter, all XPs are 16s and weigh the same

They're still heavier.

They're still heavier.
18 pounds doesnt really hurt all that much.

Compared to 12. They're 50% heavier than regular Prostars.

I stand corrected. You sure XPs have the correct BS though. I looked at jegs and none of the 15" XPs will fit an fbody correctly. Besides, they are $100 more than the regular prostars. Why do you want to go with the XPs?

I honestly just like the way they look and also found a pretty badass deal on a pair on CZ28.com. Youre right on the backspacing though, they wont fit a f-bod.
