Touch taller than the 275/40's of the Hoosiers I run but they might be ok. Only thing I'd worry about is when you get off the throttle and it unloads and squats the rear. I tried some 28x9'sx15's that are actually 27" tall where yours are 26.5" tall. Wont know till you try.
If anything, try the Hoosier 275/40/17's. 25.7 and they have a good width to them and plenty of traction. (went 1.44 with them)

they tuck better, but if i drop the air pressure in the rear, they will rub about mid way up the tire, but thats only when im parked. So i keep at about 50 psi and thats fine for cruising and about 80 psi for free way driving.

I was more commenting on going 100+mph at the strip with them and when you get off the throttle. I put a couple pretty good grooves in my slicks when it unloaded. However, I do not have air shocks to raise the rear up.

Gotcha, just air to stiffen or soften I take it?
Those do look good on the back though.
I know they wont last, but my car really isnt driven that much, but i will try definately get drag radials next time.

The Hoosier Drag radials are pretty soft also and dont last very long.
Great traction though.
