I'm going to run some metal 15x7 for the track and wanted to see what size tire I should go with.... I'm ordering teh BFGoodrich g-force T/A drag radials.
My initial thought is the 235/60/15 but i'm not sure what will fit on the 15x7.
thoughts?

That should work fine.
General rule is, for 50-series tires and higher, the measuring rim width is 70% of the tire's section width, and for aspect ratios lower than a 50-series, the measuring rim is 85% of the tire's section width.

Nice Munch. I was at the track last night and a guy with a GTI was running a consistent 14.6. His good friend let him slap on his drags and he ran 13.5. I ran 14.1 with very little traction in 1st and 2nd gear.
