Angry WTF, they don't make **** for a 16 inch rim

I finally found a place that can widen my stock wheels. Now I can't find a F&*KN tire to go on them that is 29-30inches tall.. Bullshit.. I thought I could hold of a lil longer on the 5 lug swap, but this is just bullshit...

You just now realized this? LOL. Sucks for us man. There aren't many drag radials out at all for a 16" rim.

To short for me, I need a 30. Truck doesn't sit low enough for a tire that small. Plus it would be silly in the rain. I rocked the slicks on it for about 3 weeks after the track...

This is one of the few I've been able to find, but they're way too wide for me with as low as I am:
