Default Anyone going fast on these???

I had 26x10.5x16" et streets, I went 11.3 @123 with them, my problem was I spun all of first and most of 2nd. No boost launch!!
I ordered a nice set of Bogart D-10's. 15x10, (Iknow they are $$$ but they will look good, and fit right)
I didnt want to cut anything, so On these rims I'll be putting 27x11.5x15" Hooser QTP tires on them.
Any one running these going faster then 11's?
I need more tire, 16" rims wont cut it and 28"tall are to much without cutting the ground effect.
I didnt post this in wheels and tires because it is not a question on that, They have been purchased, It is a question to Drag racers if they work well faster then 11's.
PS. My suspention is 100% redone! All the good stuff!
Thanks

Those are the exact tires I used to use. I cut dozens of mid 1.5 short times with them, running low 11s all day. I drove them on the street some, and after that, they seemed to lose their bite.

i run them, 1.51 60's and 11.0's on a small shot. i think there have been some people go 10.60's on them if i remember right.

i plan on going some 10.50 or 10.60's on them myself.

I couldn't hook up on a 128mph pass to save my life with those. Was fine on 119mph motor passes. I was spinning on 1-2 shifts even.

If you still can't hook up with the QTP's then you might want to consider a stronger rear anti-sway bar. What bar are you running now?

I'm having trouble hooking with 26 x 11.5 x 16 ET Streets and I'm only running 11.4s with 1.5 60' times. I believe my problem is mostly the wheel width and/or rear bar. I have these tires on my stock 8" wide wheels. I should have 10" wide wheels to eliminate the crown in the tire. I'm losing about 1/2" contact on each side of the tire. You didn't say what wheel width you are running.

I do have a 1LE rear bar. That's not enough as I'm getting too much lift on the drivers side. When the drivers side lifts it takes weight off the rear drivers tire. If you don't keep almost equal weight on both rear tires you won't get as good traction.
