Default anyone used 16x8 on slicks?

I have always used 16x10 on some 28"Hoosiers and has always worked very well for me, but this year i would like to try some 16x8 and try to use those to avoid all the rubber getting all over the truck like with the 16x10.....

I have seen people down in RGV that use the 16x8 and net very nice 60's but all of them are in RCSB, i have also seen them use stock 16's on the Hoosier and also get nice 60's but again that is on the RCSB, us ECSB guys dont have that nice weight transfer like them. do you think i can really get away with a 16x8 wheel, I want to keep my 60' down where its always been (1.68), would that xtra meat to the ground really help? i have search for some 16x9 but cant seem to find any which will probably help a little more..

I use 28x10x16 Hoosiers.....
