Better 60 time is this a bad idea?

Better 60 time is this a bad idea?
Last year I ran 275 40 17 MT ET DRs & got decent 1.6 60 times but inconsistent as sometimes spinning due to the short & stiff radial. My plan this year is to run something with more sidewall & flex, ET street bias on some stock 16x8 firebird wheels, which I just picked up. I might add a 100 shot later in the season too. I dont want to run a 28 inch tire, will lose some gearing. A 27 inch tire would be ok but couldnt find a 27 inch tire in a 16. From the search I did looks like I am limited with the 16x8 wheel to run a 26x10.5x16, that only has a 8.4 inch tread width compared to the 10 inch tread I was running with the 17s. Will this work or do I need to shell out the big bucks on 15 inch wheels that will clear the calipers so I can run a 10 inch wheel?

Don't run that tire on a 8" wheel. It will suck on the big end. The wheel is to narrow. I've been there and have the shirt.
Hossier makes a true slick that will work on an 8" wheel its 28x10x16. Its the only one that I know of. What gears are you running? I have 4.11's and have cut 1.3's with it. You will need to do some minor trimming on the rear of the wheel well .
