3.73's =26
3.73 with boost and nitrous 27/28
4:10's = 27
4:10's with boost or nitrous = 28
IMO

Those might stick out a little bit.

You can do it, BUT for a good MPH a taller tire helps!
I would do a 27/28, not only will it be easier to hook up on but you will increase your MPH.

On the 26" drags i trap like 114 on spray, ive trapped 119 on the 28's I can hook on 26" tires but its hard to do. Ive had better times with a taller tire.

As far as me saying they might stick out that is because of the wheels. I would mount the tires on STOCK aluminum wheels, I have my 28" slicks on them and they fit perfectly!

thats what im planning on doing. ill either find a set of 16's, or maybe the new 17's. the more sidewall the better right? 28 on a 16 sounds like the smartest choice.

^^^Hey, that looks just like mine lol. I run the 28's Hoosiers on stock 16's and I have a 4.5/7 drop. The tires tuck when it launches. I would like to run wider wheels but am in the same dilema of rubbing. I won't try that till I get caltracs.
Another thing you can do is run 26's on a 15" rim.

Just wondering what the width of the rim is for a stock alloy wheel? I have two stock steel wheels that I was going to put tires on, but I might see if I can find some alloy ones. Plus, I don't know if the steel ones are wide enough.
