If you could get a 32"x14" MT drag slick under your BA's arse you'd be laughing... :) 

 

But MT ET street radials are what seem to be the go for these cars, don't waste your time looking for something to put on your 19's.

 

As it turns out I noticed a guy on Ford Forums has a set in 275/40/17 on a pair of BA 17's that have done 6 passes for $500

Pretty good buy imho

Micky Thomson ET street radial drag tyre comes in 305/35/19 and also of late I see 285/35/19.   It will depend on your offset whether you will be able to fit either.

 

I am in the process of working out what offset rims to get to fit the 305/35/19 under the rear of a lowered FG sedan . From my calculations if I modify the trailing arm and use a 57mm offset / 19 x 10 rims I should be able have a low car without rubbing.  In any case its a few mm either side of 57mm offset.
