Best street/drags for my car?

Got an 83 with third gen ws6 16 inch rims. I'm running 245/50r16 now, 1.25" drop (control arm lowering brackets, was told it is a 1.25" drop stock but not sure, so adding it in). What's the biggest tires I can fit on those rims and not have clearance issues?

You don't have a large selection of "wider" tires in 16in.
The only thing I have found wider than the size you have now are these.
Here's a list =

The Proxes TQ has them in a 275/45r16
I don't know if they will fit. It has a lot to do with your BS
