i have tried both, 16x10 and 15x8, which do i prefer? the 15x8, my opinion you would be fine with a 16x8, i just sold a sweet set of m/t 15x8 with new ET drag slicks, i made about 8-10 passes on them, and those boys hooked great, got me to a 1.70 60ft from a 1.74 60ft with the hoosiers, my experience the ET drag slicks are by far the best slick i have used so far..
stew if you go with a 15x8 i would look into the 28x9x15 ET drag slicks, its an awesome set!!

I've got my 16" tahoe wheels for sell with the 28x11.5 et streets if any of you guys are interested. I also have 2 16" tahoe wheels with no tires mounted for sale as well.
I've got about 15 passes on those tires and they have netted 1.6 60's. They have plenty of tread left. I'm converting to 5-lug so I can't use them anymore.

Also run 255/50 ET Streets on the stock 16" rims and cut a 1.57 sixty foot.
I agree, I hate all the tar and rubber on my windows and bed from the 10" !
Kind of a toss up on what to run !!

you do know they will stick out further than what you have now? the ET drags are mounted on the bogarts, which i am in the process of milling the calipers down for fitment, had to change them out to a s10 caliper cause of the brake line and banjo bolt. they do tuck well though
those MT 15x8s i had with slicks weighed a mere 36 pounds

has anyone tried the 295 50 16 my drag radials they fit on a 16x8 rim i was thinking of giving them a try. For the rubber spray the truck down with pam it washes right off and does not ruin the paint.
