basically any tire height you want with a 9"-11.5" width. most common if you want a stock tire size slick would be a 26x10.5 but you can also get away with a 26x11.5.

Agreed.
As far as Drag radials, both BFG and Mickey make an excellent tire in a 255-50-16. I have the BFGs on my stock 16x8s. They have barley been used (only 3 track passes). i'm thinking about selling them.
