Hoosier 275-60x15 drag radials on 15x8'' Prostars with 5.5'' backspacing. They fit with no body mods at all.
Best 60' is a 1.455 at 3340lbs with 4.10 gears.

I think you may want to look at the ET Streets. They have some that will fit the stock rims.

I ran 26 x 15 x 11.5s for a couple of seasons but I needed rims with 6 1/2-7.0 inch backspacing. They worked great. When my sixty foot time dropped into the low 1.5 range I was going too quick for Street class so i went for a taller tire. I like to be able to race Modified and Street and a 12.0 dial fits in the three major IHRA classes so I could even race top if I wanted to get my butt handed to me by the box cars.

Also. the ET Street is technically DOT approved so you can race in classes that require DOT tires if you so choose.
