i dont know much about drag radials but the stock wheels will be fine to put in in the 10's i believe a 245 in the rear is the biggest width tire u can fit on a 16x8 wheel.

BTW, no offense, but you sound a little uneducated for wanting to hit 10s. What mods do you have and how many times have you been to the strip?

Well, it doesn't matter what tires you use, you have to be putting down a lot of power and be a good driver to hit 10s with a 7. What mods do you have? Have you ever dynoed your car?

26x10.5x16 M/T ET Streets will work on stock rims.... you should try that first.
You can fit a 28x9 ET Drag out back with proper offset aftermarket rims and no lowering springs.
I'm sure the guys at RX7.com could tell you the offsets and what needs to be done to the motor.
Be preparred to upgrade the axles and most likely the diff to a KAZZ lsd.
Weight sucks up HP..... lower weight will break less parts and be easier to run the number.
