front tire size suggestons needed

my 84 camaro is a drag race only car. I have drag lite rims on the front with some old 6.00-15 tires. I would like to know what size tire to run on the car. I am looking at moroso front drag tires. Would I be better off with the DS-2 26x4.5-15 ? Or will the drag specials 7.10x15 (27.7"dia.) fit with out hitting the inner fenders ?

I run MT 27.5" front runners. They hit the inner fenders if I have to turn real sharp mainly because I don't have steering stops on the tubular a-arms. Even driving through the pits will I rarely need to turn that sharp anyway.

Thanks I just wanted to make sure the 27.7" dia was not to tall, and wanted to see how they looked on the car. you have the same rims as I do and the tires do not look to big for the car.
