ET Streets / ET Drags, will this fit?
10.5 26 15?
or do I have to run 8.5/26/15
and this is of course with new wheels, im just wondering if they will actually fit on our car, and other things i need to watch out for?

You'll have to watch your turning radius, I'm sure they'll rub.

yes i am saying i believe 255 (maybe 265) is the widest normal street tire people can tuck in the front without too much trouble. so i compared that lets say 255/25.4 = 10.0" or a 265 =~ 10.4, so im wondering if i can fit a 10.5" slick in there without tooo much trouble, or am i just making stupid comparisons here? although i will have to watch turns and stuff like that, its for a straight drag strip primarily

But you have to understand that the width of the tire changes as you go down the track. The faster you go and the warmer they get, the tires shrink in and extend in radius. So, if you have 10.5" slicks and they start extending down the track, they will FOR SURE rub you inner fender/strut/fender trim, etc. I have 26/8.5/15 inch slicks on my Kosei K1 wheels and the tires run VERY VERY close to the inner part of the fender. Sometimes, when I turn VERY sharp with them at low speeds, they rub and gash the slicks. I have already replaced one of them because of this. I would personally stay away from the 10.5......
