Both drive good in a straight line on the street, but don't get caught in the rain.

On the strip both have been stable for me over 120 mph

I drove my 28x11.50-16s a decent amount on the street with no issues. I plan to do the same when i get it back on the road and don't expect any issues.

I was going to recommend M&H's if you hadn't already looked into them and I see you have

If you went to a 30" tire I'd also consider a 3.73 or so gear.

Yea I think im going to try the m&h 315 since rich says the 15's wont clear my brakes and stick with the 28" tall tire. From what ive read on the m&h tire is just as good if not better than the m/t. I just cant decide on a wheel.

I ran a set of M\H Drag Radials first and they gripped the street the best of any tire I have run, but wore out very quick and had no traction on the track.

In case you havent noticed I have the hardest time making decisions on anything. So now im looking at going 5x4.75 lug. A whole world of wheel options open up to me at that point. Then I saw blown06's build thread and how much he had to grind his front calipers to fit. So I guess my question is, do the 06's have bigger front breaks than the 04s? I think they do.

Can't tell any difference. However, I never tried to take any agressive corners with them.

You can get bogart street series or about 250 per wheel for 15's and they can make those custom. My front 15 Bogarts fit without grinding
