Default 16" slicks.

First off I know i'd be better off running some 15" rims all in due time.

looking for either a 16" d/r or full on slick. preferably something like MT streets but they dont make them.

looking for a 28x10x16.

i'll be pushing it to the very max w/ a 26" tall tire as far as RPM goes i'd be crossing the traps 200rpm under redline....not looking to do that as im going to spray soon.

car has Moser 9 31 spline axles, 4.11's,qa1's, UMI dbl adj. lca's and phb

is the Hoosier the only tire I can run for now?

what about the fitting these tall tires?....

hoosier makes a 28x10 for a 16" rim in their QTP dot tire line up.

M/T makes a drag radial thats 27" tall in a 16"

Hoosier quick time DOT Pro is hoosiers version of the ET Street and they make a 28x10 16"

Hoosier 17603QTP - Hoosier Quick Time Pro D.O.T. Drag Tires Details


Tire Overall Diameter: 28.0''
Average Roll Out/
Circumference: 88''
Tire Tread Width: 10.0''
Tire Section Width: 11.8''
Wheel Diameter: 16''
Required
Wheel Width: 8'' - 10''
Tire Weight: 24 lbs.

People fit 28x10's on stock wheel wells, but it is hard to say because I don't know how good the stock rim fits with a tire that tall, If I had to guess I would say the major point you'd have to look for is on the inner front for rubbing.

Nothing a BFH hasn't fixed many times.
