Default New to slicks...advice?

I am building a rear end for the car in my sig right now. I am putting 4.10 gears in it and I will have a set of STOCK 16" aluminum rims from an LS1 Camaro which I will be using for my rears at the track. I am new to the world of slicks/drag radials and I need a little advice.

With my setup and the 4.10 gears, what would be the proper size to put on those rims, and what should I get???

Thanks in advance!

I would run 26x11.5x16 M.T slicks with your setup or run a 28" tire if you have a stock 10 bolt and YOU might want to save your rearend from blowing up

I have an 8.8 rear end with 4.10's being built as we speak. It will be done this month.

X2 on the 26X11.5/16 M/T et street, Hoosier QTP's and a nice choice as well but IDK what their 16" trie sizes are.
