There's no right size really. A 26" fits great with good clearance and is probably the most commonly used size. If you drag/bracket race the front tire size is important because it effects the cars roll out. You may want to borrow a set and see what works best. A 28" will fit if you don't have inner wells and you are not lowered to much in the front. I hope this helps.

The taller front tires won't help your 60' times, just allows you more roll-out on the starting line. If you, or your car, don't respond real quick, you can get by just fine with 26" tires. Less prone to red lights with taller front tires.

Actually the 28" tall tires will help your 60ft. If you shallow stage both tires, the 28s will give you more of a running start before breaking the beam which in turn shows a better 60ft. On the other hand, my 24" tall fronts give worse 60fts, but give a much better reaction time on the .400 pro-tree. It's just the difference of movement allowed before the beam is broken. I hope this makes sense. FWIW-The 26" are what we run 99% of the time and allows us a good roll-out for good lights on the sportsman tree.
It works for me anyway. Good luck!
