biggest size for drag radials


I'm lookin for a good set of drag radials for the track. I've got a spare set of ford 10 hole rims. How big is the biggest tire i can fit on the back of an 89 gt? the tires i'm looking at are 15 inchers that are 29 tall and 11 wide. will these work on the ford 10 holes and will they fit inside tbe rear tire?

i hope you have like a 4.56 gear or something with a 29 inch tall tire. your going to have to roll the fender lips big time too. if you have 3.73s or 4.10s and are n/a id suggest a 26x10.5-15 mickey thompson et street, or 275/50/15 m/t et radial.

yeah, I really don't want to tub out the rear quarter panels, I want something that I can just slap on when I go to the track and switch to my street rims when I'm done on the weekend. I have 3.73 gears and I really just want to use my spare set of ford 10 holes. how wide are the rims? any tire size recomendations??
