Default 16'' Drag radial

Does anyone know of anyone who makes a 30'' or even a 31'' tall drag radial for at least a 16'' rim or bigger.

From what I have seen from M/T or Hoosier, to get close to that height and still be able to use a 8"-10" wide rim, you need a 15" rim diameter.

MT 255-50-16 26.1" tall on a AR767 wheel works for me. Looks kind of funky, but it works. Doesn't throw abs code. I haven't actually used them on the street, though.

I think Nitto makes on drag radial that's somewhere in the 31" tall range.

Thats what I have the M&H Drag radial 275/50r17 they also have 390/40r17 thats 29.5 tall but you need a 12'' rim lol that would look just as funny as the lil 28'' DRs What I really need is like a 355/50/17

Oh 15'' rims wont fit over my rear calipers will they.

i know what you mean. it would stick out too much and i like my tires to fill in the fenderwell gap. unless i'm at the track with my funny looking 26" et's but they get the job done. i know you have to grind on the calipers but i don't know exactly where to make the 15's fit.
