What size tire????

When I bought my car...it had 16x8 TT's on it with 255/50/16's DR's on it....Well being a street/strip car it didn't take long to go through a set of DR's
Well when they wore out all I had was a set of 26 x 10.5 x 16 Et Streets to put on it at the time, Needless to say I lost a few MPH.....

OK, I am fixing to buy a set of 15x 8 Draglites...
What I am needing to know is What size tire can I put on the draglites to get it as close to the size of the 16.x 8 tt's with the 255/50 on there, With that combo I was trapping 110 consistantly w/ 1.8 60'??? With the et streets I am trapping 106 -107 with the occasional 1.7 60'

I figure I will be shedding some weight going to the Welds....But I like the traps I was getting from the 16 x 8 bfg combo....What do you guys think I should go with, going to the 15 inch wheel (tire size that is) ET Street and BFG????
