On a 16x10 you want a 28x10x16

I agree unless you have a 99/00 with the 3.55 gears. In that case I would go 26 for a quicker E.T.

It also depends on the power you make to.

Yep.....I have heard of fellows having to move to 28's with 3.55 gears because of the power levels they have reached. It is about like me having to move to 30's from 28's. On 28's my truck runs out of gear before I hit the 1000 ft mark.

The first hand knowledge I have on it comes from watching unsane Wayne at Ennis one night a couple years ago. He was running 26's at the time and borrowed someones 28's. He lost a tenth off is E.T.

It is basicly a gear ratio issue. If your running 3.55 with 26's your about equal to me running 3.73 with 28's.

Sixpipes runs 28's...or at least I think that was what he posted a few days ago. Check with him on his results. I am pretty sure he still has 3.55 gears.....maybe...LOL. I also believe Mark #2 is running 3.55's and 28's. Ask them when/why they made the switch.
