I know you asked for 16+ sized rims but.... Im running regular radial ta wheels 275/50/15 right now on t-type wheels. Best pass I could get with 3 passes was a 11.91 at 117mph forget what the 60 was think it was a 1.8x left with zero boost.

I ran a 12.3 at 110 mph with stock motor, TE44 and alcohol. I was running 255-50-16 Sumitomo HTRZ street tires. Somehow I got a 1.87 60'.

This wasn't the exact run, but I bet it looked something like this ...

Look into Falken Azenis tires. I run them on my Stage 2 car on the street and they hook. A lot of Autocross guys use these on their cars because they are sticky and seem to last for street use. I havent run my car so I dont have times.

 

[WINDMILL]

the best i have ran is a 1.62 60fts at a 7.08 1/8 mile here with a 295x50 street tire not drag radial... and the car is for sale if anyone interested.

 

[malibuick231]

This is my old car 79 malibu with GN drive train and 3.08 gears.
1.62 60ft
11.21@128
315/35/17 nitto with 12psi of air

 

[nonosv6]

That's pretty quick. Was that w/ 555r's? I'm looking at the toyo tq's there cheaper and make a 315-35-18...toyo and nitto are made by the same company so I figure ill givem a try..... and the mustang guys are seemin to like them...

 

[malibuick231]

Yes it was the 555r but they are about to come out with a more agressive tire I think.

 

[89drivin87]

i like this topic. real world results.

Ive gotten 1.52 60 fts with a 275/40/17 M/T Drag Radial running mid 11's
On real street tires which where the BFGoodrich KDSW 245/45/17 my best is an 1.80 with many 1.82.

GN with 18" rear wheels I went 11.90 at 116, true street summer performance tire. I think the car was spinning most of the way down the track

 

[TurboSlacker]

All on my 16x8 GTA wheels and 23psi boost

Street radial Goodyear F1 GS-D3 245x16 netted typ 1.8x-1.9x 60' and best of 1.78 60' 11.70@118

Nitto 555R drag radial 255x16 netted typ 1.8x 60' w/ best of 1.76 60' 11.52@117

M/T drag radial 255x16 netted typ 1.6x w/ best of 1.56 60' 11.37@116

So clearly you can deduce that the slower I go the quicker my ET:biggrin:
...or maybe that cutting sixty-foot times really does help
Hummmm, me thinks my stock heads are seriously choking my trap MPH

Mastercraft 275/40/17 ZHP. Dropped tire pressure to 27, edelbrock adjustable uppers, boxed lowers, couple hundred extra lbs balast in the trunk, 12.33 with a 1.69 60ft.
