If its for just the strip only why not just get some m/t et drags 26x10.5. You probably don't need to go any taller then 26 inches and its slightly wider then 235. Its about the equivalent of a 255. If I remember I'll take a picture of my 26x10.5's mounted on turbines which are the same size as 10 holes. Also it isn't a waste to put them on 10 holes. Rule when drag racing is to go with the shortest skinniest tire you can hook with and not top outwith. Theres plenty of guys going into the 11's with 235's as well. I've been think about getting a set myself.

These?

It says those tires need a minimum of 8.6" rim and the 10 holes are 7"


These are what I am leaning towards

These here have a minimum recommended rim width of 7.5".... I suppose 1/4" on each side isnt too bad

and the best part is that they are stock size

Yeah, those one look good too. The whole reason why i started this thread was to help me decide on what tires size to run, so if you think stock size is best, thanks, that is what I was looking for.
