What type of 16" wheels? If they are from a 4th gen Fbody they won't clear without some grinding/hammering on the upper control arms. I tried and gave up on a set of 16's, went with a set of 17" speedlines and mt's. I only used them at the track though. If you are just into stoplight racing I guess they are ok on the street. They are not going to handle & corner very well.

Big difference between the bias ply mt et streets and mt drag radials. Pretty sure those bias ply et streets are not dot street legal, they are intended for the strip only. I have 275/40/17 drag radials like the kind Lonestar has. Those bias ply's would be real squirly on the street. Also those were the same style 4th gen wheels I tried using on mine and they would not fit without a good bit of work.
