Track Tires for these Wheels

I have a set of 16" Trans Am wheels off of a 1994 Trans Am. I think i have measured at least 2 of them to be 10" wide. I was thinking I could use them as track wheels. So what I am wondering is what tire you guys would recommend? Brand and size would be appreciated.

These are the wheels I am talking about.

Thanks

Those are 16x8 wheels NOT 10" unless someone widened them. You CANNOT measure from the outside wheel lips to get the true measurement. You need to measure where the tire seats. Look on the inside of the wheel and it will be stamped 16x8JJ or something similar for the size. For drag radials in 16's the biggest you will find are 255/50/16's.
