Default Slicks on stock steel 16s?

Hoosier 28" slicks on stock 6.5" 16s? I know the stock aluminum 16s have been done with much success but they're 7" wide.

I have 28x11.5 ET Streets on factory 16" aluminum wheels, they fit very nicely.

Those 2005+, iv seen a few guys that have been able run spacers and make this wheel work in the front. In the rear would it make a difference if it was a drag radial or slick? Some 28 11.5 16 would be awesome in a dr. I'd like it to run around with on the street sometimes and track use.
