28'' or 30''
its going to take alot of work. Not sure if a mini tub would give you what you need but I know you need to cut a wedge in front of the wheel and out of the bumper and weld the front back up and epopxy the bumper......
I don't have much exp. with the mini tubs that are out now.....I know wolfe had some people running a 31" I think but don't hold me to it.
Probly call thunder and check with madman I'm sure he knows for sure

Here's a V6 Firebird with 28.8" tires.

I don't think you can go any larger than that, and still fit them in the wheel wells. A buddy of mine put 29.5" slicks on his 97 SS convertible, and it took major bodywork modifications to the wheel tubs, the quarter panels and the rear bumper cover. Of course, he was making 1,350HP.... so huge tires made sense.
Running a 30" tire, compared to a stock 25.65" tire, would make a set of 3.73 gears feel weaker than a set of 3.23's. The back of the car will sit more than 2" higher than stock.

Look for stock eliminator cars....they all run a 30x9 slick
With a 4.56 and 28"...switching to a 30 and a 4.88 you will gain MPH, you wouldn't think so and it doesen't work out on paper but it works on the track
