I used to run 215/50/15 on stock rims. I know it is smaller than stock, but fit no problem.

Do run 225/50/15 Toyo RA-1s for the track on 15x7 35mm offset wheels. There's 7mm of clearance to the coilovers. Without the 450lbs rear springs I got I'm sure tire would rub on the fender's lip (but front end is your only concern on a drag car).
