Anyone found a good 28" slick for a 18" wheel?

I've got the RaceStar wheels and they are 18x10.5 in the rear. Trying to get a decent tire for the track to fit on them. Who has a good suggestion?

No such thing as an 18" slick. There are however several different variations of drag radials. Mickey Thompson ET Street II's are arguably the best DR out there.

The only Mickey I saw on their site was the 345/35/18 and was suggested for an 11" wheel minimum. See that being an issue?

I'm also running the MT 305/45R18 on an 18 x 10.5 wheel. This size is about the same diameter as the OEM 20s and won't screw with your ABS, etc.

I have 27" tires on the front. I'm looking at the 345/35/18s.
