Default 305/40/16 M&H tires on 16x8 rim

How many people have the 305/40/16 tire on their stock rims and how well do they fit. On Jegs it said the recommended wheel size was 10 inch wide but I have read a few posts where people had them on stock 16x8 rims. Do you have to inflate these tires to insane pressures to get them to seat on the rim like ET streets?

How about the 275/55/16 M/H drag radial on stock rims? I know this is 28 inch diameter.

I ran that M&H tire w/Firebird 16x8 alum. take-offs for 2 yrs at the track w/my old '99 M6 SS car...Worked very well, but I did not like them on the street. Got 1.82 sixties w/stock motor and 4.10's. WJ
