Default BFG DR's Need some advise

I'm competing in the Street Class at the IDRC finals at LACR in November and unfortunately they do not allow ET Streets even though they are DOT approved so I have to get a new set of DR's. I have had good experiences with BF Goodrich so that's my pick I'm just not sure on the correct size and model.
Since I am running 15" ET Streets I want to stick with 15"'s

Here are my options I'm considering so far:

BFG Comp T/A Drag Radials 295/65/15 or 325/30/15
or
BFG gForce T/A Drag Radials 295/65/15 or 325/30/15

Now I have no idea if the 325 would even fit on my car without changing anything, for that matter I'm only assuming that the 295's will fit because I know some people running 295's but on 18" or larger rims...

I also have only experience with the old tread pattern (gforce) not with the new one on the Comp's so maybe someone can help me out here.

Thanks

Although this doesn't answer your question, is the only reason you're considering/going with BFG is because they want a radial tire?

I know most events are picky about the tires accpeted for competition, regardless of them being DOT or not. With that in mind, have you considered the ET Street RADIALS??? Yeah, another version of what you currently have.

that would be another option but since I do have a good experiences with the BFG's I want to stick to them for DR's and MT for slicks

just checking. Figured most people didn't realize MT offered both radial and non-radial of the same ET.

Other than that, would it be too much to ask to see what are the specs on the rims you're using for the slicks? Sorry, don't mean to take this more OT. You can PM me if you like.

Thanks,
