Default which M/T drag radial size do I need for my prostars?

I just got a set of weld prostars 15x8. I want to use the new M/T drag radial tire that is out. I'm not sure how i figure out how tall of a tire i will need. I have a moser 12 bolt w/ 4.10 gears and my car is a 6 speed w/ cam and boltons. I see they make the tire in the following sizes:

P235/60R15 = 26x9.50R15
P275/50R15 = 26x11.50R15
P275/60R15 = 28x11.50R15

I have heard w/ actual slicks a 28" tall tire wont fit w/out triming the rear bumper, but what about this last size that is a 28 in these drag radials?

I would stay with a 26" tall tire, I had 11.50's when I had my ET Streets and they worked great, go with 275/50/15
