Need help on Tire size for 15x3.5" prostars.

I'm currently running a 165R 15 Tire on my 15x3.5" prostar rims. The problem is ground clearance issues with one of my STS turbo pipes. The tire is 24 1/4" tall. I'm looking for a taller tire basically 26-27" would be great. Do they make a tire in that size/height for those size rims??

Companies like Mickey Thompson, Moroso, Goodyear, Hoosier, etc. make "skinnies" specifically for that purpose, in all sorts of diameters. They are designed to carry the loads and run as high speed. I run a Moroso DS-2 26x4.5-15, since its closest to stock tire diameter. Some people opt for larger diameters for bracket racing, since it give more consistant rollout.
