I don't have any info for you on the wheel size but I'm in for results.

My faith has been returned to the car community. When I read the preview subject line I thought this thread was going to be what's the smallest tire I can run on my rims.

with that stanced/stretched BS

Then I opened it and it was referring to drag and getting the most meat on the rear

In for results!

I love it lol, I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised. I just traded some tools for a pair of Rota concave wheels 17 by 9, I'm gonna run the drag radials on them, just gotta decide what size, leaning towards 275 40 17
