with ET Drag slicks 28x10.5-15, will I have any clearance problems with expansion or anything else? Also the tread is 10, does that mean it is a 10 inch tire? I'm going to get the Mr. Gasket wheel screw kit just to be safe too. I'm going to put them on 15x10.5" weld prostars with 6 1/2 rear spacing to match my skinnies up front. Does anyone suggest new wheel studs? And last question, what kind of lug nuts should I use for the rear, when I got my skinnies I had to get SS/T lug nuts.
Thanks for your time~Tony

If I was you I would stay with a 26 inch et drag. With a car trapping 111mph you don't need a 28 inch tall slick. My friends with 600 and 700 hp cars are on 28 inch slicks. Unless your running like a 4.30 gear or something. I say go with a 26x10.5x15 et drag.

I'm planning on some head, cam, and motor work this winter and spring. I have 4.10s now and am running out of gear going past 1320 with overdrive off, if it shifts into o/d it's like it stops accelerating almost. So I figured a taller slick will help me have some gear left than with nitto DRs. I also have it jetted for 150 shot now so and tried it once not at the track and i was bouncing off the rev limiter going through the 1/4.

so what do you think I should do, plan for the future or just get the 26 inch tall and if that doesn't do it just get 28s later. I think I'll take your advice and get the 26 inch tall, thanks for your input!!
