Slicks for a 16" wheel will be extremely limited. Unfortunately this is why many people are swapping to the rear drums.

Slicks aren't at all limited for 16" the most common is a 28x11.50-16. I have E.T. Streets.

The SUV brakes are going to limit you to a 17" wheel. If you grind the heck out of the calipers you might fit a 16". Are you talking a dot approved slick or an actual drag radial ?

These are Hoosier 16"

I have not been able to hit 1.4 sixtys. I probably need a little more power off the line or more rear gear to achieve that.
