What size wheel and tire combo?

[wheelsup351]

I am converting my strip/street car back into more of a street/strip car.

Here is my car as it sits with a 28 inch slick and a 26 inch front runner. It is at stock height front/rear. The car works pretty good at the track with this setup.



Here is the car with the previous 26 inch radial setup and a 24 inch front runner and lowered 1.5 inches in the rear.



I will be putting either a Budnik M5 or G5, 18x8 in the front with 26 inch tires that I already have. My issues are about the rear wheels.

I was leaning towards a 20x9 but not sure whether to go with a 26 or 27 and lowering it again or maybe even a 28 and keeping it at the height it is. Any opinions? How bout 18's and a 26 inch tire?

Any input is appreciated.
