Default Need help with WHEELS AND SLICKS

I am looking for feedback on fellow racers running stock 5-spoke 17" rims in the rear with 26x11.5x17 MT ET Streets.

I like the CCW drag pack but looking for cheapest route right now.

The tire you have fits well on a 10" rim. The other issue might be some high end squirliness without skinnies esp at 125+mph.

I just installed my wagon wheels on the front and rear of my 86.The rear is 11.5 with Nitto DR 315's/17 and at 18 lbs they can handle my 700hp up front.I run in the 10's at over 134 plus mph.
