Drag Radials!!!
 
After much searching I've concluded their are NO appropriate sized drag radials for our cars.. whether its height or width...

Anyone got some insight

You're asking a forum of people who think straight line racing is for people who can't drive. Better to ask in the Camaro/Mustang/Challenger/Grand National forums.

gForce Comp TA Drag Radial in 225/45R17. Fits the stock wheel no problem. Took 5 minutes on Google.

I read that as 9.3s and 252MPH and thought something is very wrong there; silly metric system. That car hooked up really nice.

225 .... thats not wide enough for over 400 whp

need 245 or 265 in a 24" height and a rim that will fit

Well you didn't provide that information last night, so I did the best I could.

That said, I don't think there's a 24" tire that is that wide unless you're into 15" wheels. 24" diameter is smaller than the stock tires by over an inch.

EDIT:
MT has a 24.5" for a 15" wheel here:

I'm pretty sure m&h has a 245/45-17 drag radial. I'm running a 255/50-16 et street on s2k rims.
If you have over 400whp you'll want a 26" tire otherwise you'll be shifting to 5th at the 1000ft
