Default Purchased my rim/tires, have a question for the next set of tires...

I got 16 inch Firebird rims. What is the biggest tire I can fit on those rims that will be a direct bolt for my 1999 Camaro? The car is stock now and I want to make the tires work efficently and get the most traction I can get (not looking for a dead hook right away until I have power that can benefit from it). What can I fit on these rims (I am looking for E/T streets) that will give me a KILLER 60 foot.

Are M&H tires any good compared to M/T?

Stock Firebird rims (latest ones) are 16x8.

M/T 26x10.5x16 ET Streets are the same size as stock tires, height is pretty close to stock.

M/T 26x11.5x16 ET Streets are a bit too big, might hook better, but will cut your gear down and the car will have a raked appearance.
