Hossier makes a slick that will fit a 16"x8 wheel. Its 28x10x16. I'm running them its the only one that I know of.

Depends on the ratio of street to strip. Sticks with their "shock" of a launch versus the auto usually like a slick to absorb the "hit" versus an ET Street bias ply or radial. A Hoosier has a softer sidewall which might work better for you, but they wear much faster on the track and street...
