slicks on Z28 rims?

i'm gona grab 2 mid 80's Z28 rims off my buddy that i will end up using for the strip. just curious what the biggest tire would be that i could fit on there. and wether or not i should go ahead and get slicks since it will be track only, or just get drag radials.

I fit a set of 26x10.5x15 ET Streets in factory 15x7 rims quite nicely.

you got any pics of them? 10.5 seems a little large for a 7inch rim... maybe not ??

No pics and no digital camera...

The ET Streets are almost exactly the same size (height and width) as the 255/60/15 BFG Radial TAs that I have on my other rims.
