Default how big a tire should I run?

Im going with the bogart 15 x 9.75 rims, which are "dished out" so as to not require backspacing, grinding etc... to fit on my SS. So now the question is what kinda tire should I run? I was thinking 28x11.5x15 ET streets (maybe slicks, are they wider?), but maybe I should stick with 26x11.5x15s, im really not keen on hammering the inside of my fender. Could I/should I go wider, 12.5?? arggh..what to get what to get!

moser 12 bolt with 4.11s, ~400rwhp h/C, help me out here.

A slick with the same sidewall designated size will actually be bigger than the same ET Street, since they are measured differently.

A 28x10.5 ET Drag would work perfect on that wheel, if you're looking for a 28" tall tire. If not, a 26x10.5 ET Drag would work well also.
