Drag bags - bigger tires?????

Simple question. Drag bags take care of wheel hop. I understand what they do. Is this the simple solution so you can get bigger tires in rear? Does anyone have this set up but still have rubbing issues?

I talked to a guy who had aftermarket tires,wheels, and drag bags and he still had his fender lip cut. 275 in rear

275's in most cases require rolling or cutting (I like rolling, but options are like A-holes). Narrow 275's, perfect cradle alignment, and perfect offsets are the exception, not the rule that would allow you to avoid rolling/cutting.

You may be able to pump up the bags enough to avoid rubbing, but you wouldn't want to drive it around on the street.

once again anyone looking for answers should know some things from you like M6 or A4? Nitto, BFG or M/Ts? do you track the car or are you spinning it on the street. wheel hop is a combination of the IRS and traction/no traction/traction/no traction. on the street it's easier to tame where you can just break it loose and spin. at the track with a hard launch and a M6 it's a bit more difficult. what kind of times are you getting with the 475 RWHP?

I got a 12.40 with the clutch slipping in first gear. I just ordered my new clutch today. I hope to be faster with the new clutch.
