Default Would these wheels work?

Hey guys, I was wondering would a 16x8 inch rim with a 5.0 backspacing work with a 4/6 drop (Just the rear axle). Tire size would be 255/50 drag tires or would a 28x11.5 tire be better for my set up. Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes they will work with the 255/50's, i ran the same setup a while back. I think the 28x11.5 would rub the fenders though on the launch
