You have multiple choices, BFG and Nitto both make 18" DG's.

I run the BFG's.
I don't know of anyone here who runs the nitto's. A bunch of us here on the forum run the BFG's though. I love them, BUT don't even think about driving in the rain. Trust me lol

I would get a set of SSRs with BFGs. Lightweight, strong and you could drive around with them on the street as well and still look good.

I run the NITTO555 Drag Radial and love them. I faced the same thing you're facing now. After researching a little, I just put them on my HRE547's and run them all of the time. When they're up on tire pressure they take the turns great, are ZR speed rated, and are great in the rain. Oh, and I run 1.6 second 60 foot times in the 1/4 mile also with a lowered and very stiff car.

The BFG hook a little better for high HP apps, but the nittos have MUCH better street manners. agian - stray away from rain witht he bfg's , nittos - your ok.
