Realistically, 28's will hook better, but they will me MUCH harder to get to fit under an F-body.

Your going to have to roll the fender lips, BFH inner fender wells, and torch off the bumpstops for the 28's to fit.

Also, I don't know if the draglites are on the car already, but you have to grind the brake calipers for those to fit.

I'd say either MT or Hoosier when it comes to slicks.
